The Suzuki Method
Children all over the world learn to speak their native language or mother tongue with ease, no matter how complex that language might be.
Dr. Shinichi Suzuki (1898-1998) believed that the steps involved in language acquisition can be applied to music learning, and that every child is capable of developing musical abilities. The ideas of parent responsibility, loving encouragement, constant repetition, etc., are some of the special features of the Suzuki approach.
