About the Suzuki Method 
The Suzuki method, also known as the “mother tongue” method, was developed by Shinichi Suzuki in Japan in the mid-20th century to teach a difficult instrument to young children in the same manner they learn their native language; first through listening and then by working on small skills with repetition. By participating in the lessons, parents serve as the home teachers, both guiding and learning along with their children. Dr. Suzuki’s main goal was not only to teach a child how to play a beautiful instrument, through careful and patient learning, but also to teach that child how to become a beautiful human being who is compassionate, kind, a problem solver and overall creative individual.
