The Suzuki Method: In The Beginning
Dr. Shinichi Suzuki (1898-1998) studied violin in Japan for many years before going to Berlin, Germany in the 1920's. Berlin at that time was one of the centers of classical music in the world. After further study there, he returned to Japan to play and teach. He taught university students, but he became more and more interested in the education of young children. He was very interested in creating young musicians versus repairing older music students.
Dr. Suzuki realized the implications of the obvious fact that children of all nationalities easily learn their native language.He began to develop a method for teaching violin, modeled after the way in which children learn language, called the Mother-Tongue Approach or Talent Education.
