The Suzuki Philosophy  “The purpose of Talent Education is to train children, not to be professional musicians but to be fine musicians and to show high ability in any other field they enter.” -- Dr. Shinichi Suzuki What is Suzuki? The Suzuki Method’s primary goal is to develop fine human beings through the study of music. Our children learn important life skills, such as patience, integrity, self expression, and the ability to meet goals through focused practice. These skills are then readily available to them in all areas of their lives. How does Suzuki differ from other methods? +Focuses on nurturing the entire child +Centers on parent, child, and teacher relationship and support +Teaches music like a language +Active parental involvement +Offers both individual and group classes +Standard repertoire that can be transfered between schools and countries Benefits and learned life skills: +focus +self evaluation +self expression +discipline +good communication skills +stage presence +integrity +ability to work in a group +coordination +self worth +concentration +goal making +organization +fine motor control “One day the principle of Talent Education, based on the way we learn our mother tongue, will certainly change the course of education. No one will be left behind; based on love; it will foster truth, joy, and beauty as part of a child’s character.” --Shinichi Suzuki
