The Suzuki Method is an approach to teaching and learning that was developed by Shinichi Suzuki. Every teacher has a slightly different approach (this is a good thing!) with some consistent tenets:

• With the right support, every student can be successful.
• Music is learned in much the same way as language.
• Listening to reference materials is a core element of learning.
• Positivity and encouragement are key.
• In addition to private lessons, students should expect to take part in group classes and performances.
• The purpose of learning music is to support people in their development as lifelong learners with kind hearts. It’s not just about learning an instrument.
