Today in this article I will explain a little bit about the Suzuki violin method if you have any questions about the Suzuki method hopefully this article will answer them.
The Suzuki method was created by Shinichi Suzuki (1898 - 1998) he was born in Japan and studied music in Germany in the 1920's.
He created the method after the Second World War ended saying that he wanted to find a way to bring beauty into the lives of Japanese children after the destruction of the war It is based on the idea that all children possess musical ability and this musical ability can be developed and grown through placing the child in a learning environment.
Another theory that defines the Suzuki method is the idea that if all children can naturally learn to speak their mother tongue with relative ease then there is no reason why they shouldn't be able to learn any other skill such as playing a musical instrument with the same relative ease.
Suzuki referred to this method as the mother tongue method.
This approach to teaching has spread throughout the world and proven to be successful where ever it has been used.
Although Suzuki started off by teaching violin his method has since been applied to many other instruments such as the viola, cello, harp and even guitar and vocal.
The aim of this form off instruction is to enable children to play at a high standard.
Many Suzuki trained students have gone on to become highly acclaimed professional musicians.
