Suzuki’s approach was to teach music in the same way children learn to speak their mother tongue.

The premise of the Suzuki method is that learning is the product of environment and any skill can be learned when broken into small, manageable steps.

The Suzuki method was developed in postwar Japan by Shinichi Suzuki, a Western-trained professional violinist, who wished to give musical instruction to the children of his war-torn country.

Parents/guardians attend each activity, take detailed notes, and are responsible for supervising at-home preparation and practice.Īll parents are asked to observe four lessons given by a Suzuki teacher either before or during their child’s first semester of lessons. In addition to weekly private lessons, students attend a weekly group class, as well as perform in solo recitals and participate in a yearly workshop. The philosophy of the Suzuki method is built upon the parent-student-teacher triangle of learning. Children younger than 5 years of age must attend at least one semester of Early Childhood Music Education before enrolling in Suzuki, to ensure musical readiness. Children typically start at age 4–6 years (although older children are welcome to start with the Suzuki method).
