The Suzuki method is by far the most effective approach for nurturing

and developing the musical ability of a child from a very young age.

Based on Suzuki's "mother language" philosophy, very young

children learn to play the piano through their senses after listening to

recordings and observing how other children learn. A cooperative

relationship between teacher, parent and student is essential for a

successful learning process. A parent is expected to be present at

the child's lesson and receive training as a practice partner to the

child. As a result, Suzuki parents and children are often known to

build strong parent-child bonds which would be treasured for a

lifetime.
