About Suzuki

The Suzuki Method is based on the principle that all children possess musical ability which can be developed and enhanced within a nurturing environment. Children learn to speak their own language with relative ease; when this same natural learning process is applied, musical skills can be acquired successfully. Suzuki referred to this process as the Mother Tongue Method and to the whole system of pedagogy as Talent Education.

 

“Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens, noble human beings. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play themselves, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart.” – Shinichi Suzuki
