The Suzuki Method

A positive and productive way to learn...


More than 50 years ago, Dr. Shinichi Suzuki realized the implications of children learning their native language with EASE. Applying the same principles of language acquisition to the learning of music, Dr. Suzuki called his method the mother-tongue approach.
Benefits of this method include: ​
Every Child Can Learn
Just like anyone can learn their mother-tongue naturally at their own pace,
any child can learn music.


Cultivating Environment
Environment plays a big part. The mother-tongue approach is based on the language
the child hears every day.


Parental Involvement and the Suzuki Triangle  
It is important that the teacher, parent and student work together harmoniously
for the best of the child.


Encouragement
We create a healthy relationship between the student and their music so
that they will enjoy their lessons.


Listening
Similar to language, we naturally learn music by hearing it over and over again.

Repetition
Just like any new word a baby learns, music becomes clearer and easier when it is 
repeated several times.


Delayed Reading
We read after we know how to talk.  Learning music is similar.

Review
We enhance our technique with review pieces that are already very familiar. This way we can focus on a higher level of playing than simply doing the notes.

What Our Students Are Saying

Thank you for fostering June's love of music—she gained so much confidence and it was quite amazing to see the difference between her first In Tune recital and this one. She really looks up to Erika and would not have come so far if it weren't for her, and for the caring atmosphere that you've created. I'd also like to say what a great teacher Jesse has been for me as well. As an adult, it's been wonderful to get back into the swing of playing with his help.  Looking forward to fitting in a few sessions in the midst of a busy summer!  In Tune really is a uniquely special place, so thank you again for all that you do! - Elizabeth & June

Thank YOU very much for your excellent teaching staff who helped Lyric attain her best at school and for recital. I am bursting with PRIDE. - Thank you again!  Terrie
