THE ROLE OF THE PARENT
- Parents are the most important link in the process of learning.
- They are the first and most influential people in the line of teachers and educators their children will encounter throughout their lives.
- They therefore deserve to have the best tools to be able to facilitate the child's musical growth.
- Parent Education Training is given to every parent.
- This is a valuable time of creating a bond of trust between parents and teacher.
- Parents learn about the Suzuki philosophy,parent-child relationships, Natural Learning,importance of listening, the developmental stages of children, basic piano skills & music reading.
ALL CHILDREN HAVE TALENT
- All children learn to speak their mother tongue by listening and imitating their mother's voice.
The same process is used to teach music.
- The environment determines the success(or failure) of the child.
- Children are immersed with music ;they listen to top quality recordings and develop sensitivity, familiarity to the music they learn and love of music.
THE APPLICATION
- Learning begins at an early age.
- Each new skill is broken into small steps.
- Each step is mastered before a new step is introduced.
- The rate of progress is dictated by the child.
- The child learns and grows through genuine praise and continuous support.
REVIEW & FOCUS
- Parents and children focus on how they play rather than what they play.
- Just as children retain their vocabulary in a spoken language and gradually bring it to a level of unconscious competence,so they do to maintain their musical vocabulary (repertoire).
