Suzuki Talent Education – the most natural way to learn music
It is based on Dr Shinichi Suzuki’s strong belief that…
“Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed. Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited”
Suzuki Talent Education combines a music teaching method with a philosophy which embraces the total development of the child. Its guiding principal is…
"Character first – ability second"
How does Suzuki Work?
Dr Suzuki called his teaching method the Mother-Tongue Approach, inspired by the fact that children so effortlessly learn to speak their native tongue. Prompted and encouraged by the parents’ love and the family environment, the child responds and develops this most difficult of skills, that of intelligible speech.
