Suzuki Niagara
ONE MAN’S VISION
Shinichi Suzuki, a violinist and teacher, carried his lifelong interest and sympathy for children into postwar Japan.
Encouraged by their ability to assimilate the mother-tongue, he saw a great opportunity to enrich children’s lives through music. His primary goal was not then, nor is it now, to teach young people only how to play musical instruments. Rather, he champions the unique contribution music can make in the total learning process.
Suzuki believed that talent is not an accident of birth, but that the potential of every child can be highly developed if he is given the proper training and learning environment.
Because Suzuki was himself a violinist, he applied his theories first in teaching very young children to play the violin. The Suzuki Method now includes cello, flute, piano, viola, and harp. Each instrument has its own repertoire but the basic teaching techniques and the philosophy that “every child can learn” are the same.
Coming this summer- the Jump Start Program for those who want a quick, but comprehensive, beginning on stringed instruments! Prepare for a great first year of playing. Check our website [address below] for further details.
