Read this even if you arent a suzuki teacherBy Ariane E AlexanderThis isnt about Suzukis pedagogy. its about his philosophical principles. and his ideas about music education making people into better human beings ring true. Its a great reminder for any of us teaching those kids who are forced into it by their parents. that they will be fundamentally changed for the better. by experiencing the culture of learning to play an instrument. There are several truly inspirational anecdotes. such as the story of a young girl whose right side was near paralysed. and who overcame the neurological disorder and subsequently became a professional. Whether youre just starting your own studio or thinking about retirement. this book really helps to reaffirm why we teach music. why were musicians. and just how much we can contribute to society in this role.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Inspiring. visionary method for teaching childrenBy Sara ZaskeAs a new "Suzuki" parent. I was so delighted to discover Dr. Suzukis book and philosophy - that anything can be learned. The Suzuki method is not so much about training violin prodigies as it is about developing what he calls "noble feelings" basically character: discipline. concentration. work ethic. values etc. What more can parents want for their child?This is not a scientific book -- its obviously his opinion that "nurture" is more important than "nature" (i.e. talent is learned not something that you are born with) and there are some things he says that time has proven wrong (the part about the wolf-children for instance which later was revealed as a hoax.) However. I found his story and philosophy very inspiring and with many elements that made a lot of sense.I highly recommend this book for (and his attitude) for parents (and teachers) whether their kids are taking violin lessons or not.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Suzuki inspires meBy Frank OrellanaSuzuki had a big idea. My childrens violin teacher recommended this book to me. Mr. Suzukis desire to bring out the best in all children impressed me. I enjoyed reading how thoughtful he was when he was approached by the parents of a blind child and later the parents of a child who had suffered a stroke and struggled to hold onto the bow. It inspired me to think about my childrens music education in a broader way.
