HOW IS THE SUZUKI PIANO STUDIO DIFFERENT?
Suzuki teachers work carefully to see that students are seated comfortably and securely at the piano. Careful attention is given to seating at a proper height for each student and support of the feet not only in the studio, but at the most important place of piano playing, the piano at home. Suzuki teachers know the value of observation and plan for students to observe each other weekly and in performances regularly. Being on a piano “team” makes playing the piano more fun and takes away the loneliness and isolation that is often the plight of pianists. Suzuki is a parent involvement experience. The parent comes to the lessons with the student and learns right along with the student. The parent is the coach and practice supervisor. Parents don’t have to know anything about music to do this. Suzuki teachers usually work with two (or more) pianos during the lesson.
