The Suzuki Method
The Suzuki Method of education originated from Dr. Shinichi Suzuki, who developed this approach while in Europe studying music and psychology, and who was originally from Japan. The first unit of study for any Suzuki teacher or Suzuki parent is called "Every Child Can", which introduces his philosophy of education. The method is therefore not only a system of teaching music but a philosophy guiding the education of the entire person, whether a child as young as 2 years old or a person who has retired from working and has cello lessons (or another instrument) on their "bucket list"! The idea that every child can comes from the parallel of learning one's own mother tongue language. Dr. Suzuki surmised that if virtually all children have a 100% success rate at learning their own mother tongue, then surely all could develop the necessary skills to be a proficient practitioner of the language of music. Both languages are sophisticated, however the idea that music is supposed to be easy to learn, leads to the belief that only geniuses can be successful at it. Dr. Suzuki in his acclaimed book "Nurtured by Love", explains that it is rather a culture starting from the home, that encourages the development of musical skill is the important key to becoming successful at music education. And furthermore, while a very technical step-by-step approach is taken, the over-all goal of the Suzuki Method is to learn to see beauty in life and to develop a beautiful heart, and a lifetime of appreciation. In terms of a purely proficient musical system, it is a generally accepted statistic that between 50-75% of musicians who successfully audition and are accepted in to the major orchestras in the United States have at least started in a Suzuki Method program!
