How the Suzuki Method works..

The Suzuki Method is a profound learning approach that focuses on the overall well-being and character of the child, believing every child can make outstanding music.

Suzuki Method Guitar lessons develop confidence, pride, empathy, listening, team-building, performance, and presentation skills.

Founded by Dr. Shinichi Suzuki in post-war Japan, this method has been embraced in Australia since the 1970s, benefiting thousands of students with high-standard creative music-making.

What are some of the special features

of the Suzuki (“mother tongue”) approach?

Suzuki students are taught

to play the guitar by ear

and by imitating the teacher,

just as every child learns

to speak their language

effortlessly

through listening,

imitation and repetition

Children develop

basic technical competence

on their instruments

before being taught

to read music,

just as they learn to read

after their ability to talk

has been established.

Involvement by the parent

in the child’s musical learning

is critical to their success.

The parent is

“the home teacher”

who plays an active role

in the daily routine of

music practice

and at lessons.

Listening to music daily,

and particularly

the pieces being played,

is a key factor

in achieving success,

just as child

learns to speak

through hearing words

repeatedly.

A strong emphasis on

positive reinforcement

and encouragement,

from the parent

and the teacher.

Group classes,

ensemble participation

& performance opportunities

are regular events.

Children develop

life-long musical friendships

and learn critical personal

and social skills.

Playing guitar becomes

an ingrained part

of the children’s lives,

and a lifelong treasure!

Many years teaching experience

and a passion for sharing the joy of music!
