    • The Suzuki Method is based on the idea that musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability that can be developed in any child who is properly trained with love and dedication.
    • The method closely follows the parallel with language learning and recommends including music as an important part of a baby's environment from birth.
    • Formal lessons frequently begin as early as three years of age, and students learn by listening, imitation, repetition, step-by-step mastery, memory, vocabulary, parental involvement, and love.
    • Parents play a crucial role in Suzuki, attending each lesson, taking notes, guiding their children through practice at home, and creating a positive, nurturing environment of cooperation between teacher, parent, and child.
    • The order of the repertoire is carefully chosen, and each piece becomes a building block for future learning, developing technique, musicianship, and style through repetition.

    • Suzuki Voice treats the singing voice as an instrument, encouraging natural development through the Suzuki repertoire, with relaxation and vocalization as important features of each lesson.
    • Suzuki Early Childhood Education (ECE) prepares babies and toddlers (age 0-3) for future Suzuki lessons through group music classes that develop social-emotional, size, pitch, rhythm, number, coordination, observation, listening, sequencing, vocabulary, memory, and pre-literacy skills.
