    Study Notes

    The Suzuki Method: A Philosophy and Approach to Music Education

    • Dr. Shinichi Suzuki founded the Suzuki Method, a music education movement that applies the principles of language acquisition to learning music.
    • The method emphasizes parent responsibility, loving encouragement, constant repetition, and nurturing a love of music and fine character development in children.
    • Dr. Suzuki's guiding principle was "Character first, ability second."
    • 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.
    • Reading music follows the acquisition of good aural, technical, and musical skills, just as reading language begins after a child can speak fluently.
    • Suzuki students participate in group lessons, performances, workshops, and observe other children's lessons, providing valuable ensemble experience and positive reinforcement of concepts learned in their lessons.
    • 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.
