I began piano lessons on the Suzuki method when I was 5 years old, but switched methods as I grew older, so I am not as familiar with it now. But I believe it is a great way to start young children. Hopefully my boys will begin soon - I have a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old. I studied piano into my early twenties, including a year at BYU as a piano performance major. So I definitely have a great love for music, and just the VALUE of music - learning, as well as listening. What great quotes from Suzuki, too! I need to read more from him and about him.

They studied "Suzuki Method -Piano Basics" (the Japanese method as compared to the Suzuki Piano USA method). Their teacher studied in Japan every summer. It was a great a great experience!La Tea Dahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03138624485398178242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-170880229400646172009-09-14T03:56:08.027-07:002009-09-14T03:56:08.027-07:00My daughter Hannah has been taking violin for 3 ye...My daughter Hannah has been taking violin for 3 years and is in her last song of book 2. She loves to play not only classical but fiddle and Irish music as well. <br /><br />I had piano lessons for 8 years and don't believe I was instilled with the love that she has for her violin. When I took lessons it was all about the notes and not the heart of the song. <br /><br />Last Christmas I bought a violin and now I learn right next to her and even took lessons over the summer. Suzuki method of course:)<br /><br />My son plays guitar so we love to play together in our home. The kids have rounded up some of their friends and play in nursing homes in our community.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812327135363281046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-88335402659654240312009-09-13T21:05:43.203-07:002009-09-13T21:05:43.203-07:00i was trained with the suzuki method on the piano ...i was trained with the suzuki method on the piano at age 2. i stuck with it til i graduated high school. i think his teaching philosophy should be adopted into all education practices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-48689674093353877732009-09-13T20:06:37.236-07:002009-09-13T20:06:37.236-07:00Loved, loved this!

We LOVE our teachers too - so loving and disciplined. It has added so much richness to our lives. <br /><br />I have three teenage boys in my house right now - all have long hair, "skinny jeans", beanie hats....but all Suzuki trained musicians. I have been blessed with a housefull of music all day. They are playing for fun. They are playing right. They are playing for God's glory. Now they are watching Lord of the Rings ;) again.I am Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14541677013575449541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-88529162193787847422009-09-13T19:32:16.993-07:002009-09-13T19:32:16.993-07:00What a lovely story. Thank you for sharing it.
M...What a lovely story. Thank you for sharing it.<br /><br />My 7 yo dd has just begun year 2 of Suzuki violin. She started piano at 5 and decided after a year that she wanted to learn violin. My 12 yo ds takes Suzuki piano. He had traditional lessons for 6 years and when my daughter moved to violin, it was a good time to make a change for him also. We have been extremely pleased with the Suzuki method. <br /><br />My husband plays electric & acoustic bass. He has had amazing opportunities with his music. He plays for fun now and does sound reinforcement on the side. I can read music, which allows me to play the piano for my enjoyment. <br /><br />Music is always playing in our home. It does a heart good!Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191954451362306455noreply@blogger.com
