Nurturing Musical Talent Through the Suzuki Method
The Suzuki Method provides a proven, nurturing approach to music education, fostering both skill and character development in children.
What is the Suzuki Method?
Developed by Japanese violinist Dr. Shinichi Suzuki, the Suzuki Method emphasizes learning music in the same natural way children acquire their native language. Through listening, repetition, parental involvement, and a positive environment, children build confidence, discipline, and a lifelong love of music.
Learning by Ear
Students play music by ear first, just like they learn to speak before reading words.
Parental Involvement
Parents actively participate, attending lessons and guiding home practice.
Early Start
Children may begin as early as 3 or 4 years old, though it’s never too late to begin learning!
Repetition and Review
Skills are reinforced by revisiting previous pieces.
The Suzuki Triangle: Student, Parent, Teacher
At Lakewood Suzuki Strings, we believe in the power of the Suzuki Triangle—a unique collaboration between the student, parent, and teacher. This collaboration creates a nurturing, supportive learning environment that helps children succeed.
