The Suzuki Method: Enriching Children's Lives Through Music

Creating professional musicians is not a primary goal of the Suzuki Method or the Academy of Strings. Dr. Suzuki believed that with the proper environment, educational process and through music, sensitivity and understanding might be raised in children/youth creating a better life for the children/youth and ultimately, the world. Preferring the name "Talent Education" rather than Suzuki Method,

Male Violin StudentDr. Suzuki based his educational system on the premise that talent is not inborn or inherited but rather "Man is the son of his environment."

Talent Education not only provides the student with an enriching musical experience but also creates an atmosphere of sharing and a mutual learning experience for both the parent and student to experience together. Suzuki believed that the potential of every student could be highly developed if he is given the proper training and learning environment.
