What is the Suzuki method of teaching violin?
With the Suzuki method, parents are expected to learn the violin alongside their child. This means attending all lessons and classes and directing practice sessions at home. Pro: Young children benefit greatly from having such strong parental involvement.
What is the Suzuki method philosophy?
The Suzuki philosophy is a belief that with the right environment and circumstances, most people can learn to play an instrument. This philosophy uses listening, imitation, and repetition to help people learn to play a musical instrument as if it were their native tongue.
Why Suzuki method is bad?
Some music teachers have criticised the Suzuki method for teaching children to a high level at an earlier age than usual, for an over-reliance on rote learning, for robotic playing, for a focus on classical music, and for a lack of engagement with music notation and improvisation.
