The Suzuki Method: Starting Early
Talent Education usually begins at an early age. Dr. Suzuki suggests that parents play classical music for their children from birth with formal music instruction beginning a few years later. Suzuki Method instruction combines the three elements of listening, practicing and performing with the student, parent and teacher working closely together. At the Academy, the triangle of the student, parent and teacher continues to collaborate through all playing levels from "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" through Mozart violin concertos.
The Suzuki parent attends all lessons and practices with the students each day as the "home teacher."As the student advances and matures, and has several volumes of music memorized and mastered, the role of the parent can evolve into that of a "parent coach." The "magical pull" of the Suzuki Method is the parent's involvement and the fact that students never outgrow the need, want, and desire to please a parent. This also creates a wonderful opportunity for parents to keep the communication lines open in an incredible and worthwhile project during the all impressionable and challenging teenage years. The parent encourages the student, praising each effort, ensuring a positive practice and learning environment.
