What is the Suzuki Method?
Introduced in 1964 to the Western world, first to the U.S. and Canada and then to Europe and the Pacific countries, this method has truly revolutionized how music is taught to children. Often referred to as the “mother tongue method of learning”, it has resulted in a ground swell of interest in playing string instruments. As string instruments grew in popularity, other instruments were introduced such as piano, flute, guitar, and harp. The ideas of the philosophy have also been used in early childhood general education.
