NURTURING PERSONAL EXCELLENCE
Ottawa Suzuki Strings
Our School
Ottawa Suzuki Strings is a non-profit music school that offers instruction in violin and guitar to children from ages 3 to 18 years. Our teachers nurture strong parent-teacher-student relationships, celebrating achievements large and small. To complete a full musical education, students participate in both private and group instruction – creating a community of support for all our family members.
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
