The Suzuki Method
“Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart.”
Shinichi Suzuki
The Suzuki Method was developed in the 1940’s by the renowned violinist and pedagogue Dr Shinichi Suzuki. It is based on the theory that, if all children can naturally learn to speak their own language to a high level, they can also learn other skills, such as playing the flute, in the same way.
Dr Suzuki believed that although children develop at different rates and to different degrees every child can develop their musical ability to a high level as they do with language. This has proved to be the case everywhere in the world where his method is used.
The purpose of the Suzuki Method is to develop a child’s natural love of music and to nurture their musical talents for their own enjoyment. It also aids in the development of concentration, self discipline, co ordination and self esteem.
Many Suzuki trained pupils have become professional musicians but all have an understanding and love of music​
