Learn to play the violin…
Teamwork
The Suzuki method relies on parent commitment. You will work with your child every day and working with your child can be difficult. Not all practice is fun. There might be tears. There will be conflict. This is a chance to learn how to cooperate with each other and create a stronger bond as a family.
Concentration
Violin lessons can be challenging for children. It can be hard to stand still. It can be hard to pay attention. It will take patience and hard work, but these challenges can be overcome. Learning to focus early in life will help students succeed later on.
Perseverance
The violin can be a difficult instrument to learn. You might not see results happen right away. Some things might seem easy, others will not. It will take a lot of work and a long time to play beautifully. Learning to play might feel difficult at times, but it is a way for children to practice overcoming challenges and become confident in themselves.
The Suzuki Method
Developed by Shinichi Suzuki in Japan, the Suzuki method was introduced to teachers in the United States in the late 1960’s. The method is unique in that it focuses on the involvement of the parent, repetition of pieces, listening as part of practice, and delay of music reading.
