• Every child has the potential to become musical.
• Environment rather than genetics will determine achievement.
• Positive reinforcement promotes success.

Suzuki Curriculum

• The Suzuki Method curriculum is a well-considered series of musical pieces designed to introduce and review musical technique in a progressively challenging format.

Suzuki Technical Concepts

• Begin lessons early, enlisting the aid of the parent as home teacher.
• Adapt the “mother tongue” approach to learning through listening, imitation, review, and positive reinforcement.
• Break each skill into the smallest possible steps.
• Teach individual lessons to let each child progress at his/her own pace.
• Use group lessons to review the materials presented in the private lesson and to introduce the skill of playing together.
