The Suzuki approach deals with much more than teaching a child how to play an instrument. It seeks to nurture the whole child, to help unfold his or her natural potential to learn through music making. Often, this experience leads to continuing on the instrument and achieving an advanced level of study. At times, Suzuki students go on to perform professionally and to pursue musical performance careers. Through the Suzuki growing process, children thrive in a total environment of support and encouragement. They develop confidence and build self esteem.
It is an increasingly known phenomenon that music and, more specifically, stringed instrument study, enhances learning receptivity and capability in other areas of learning. When caught during the known "window of opportunity," children before the age of ten are prime candidates for developing those areas of the brain that, through musical study, activate the entire learning and cognitive process. Through participation in the offerings of Suzuki on the Island, every child has the opportunity to tap these resources within themselves.
Parents are integrally involved with their child's progress and development. In what is known as the "learning triangle," parents attend lessons and, by recording the lessons or taking notes, are able to help their child during home practice sessions to follow through with important skills and concepts taught at the lessons. Under the teacher's expert guidance, skill development is enhanced in this way.
Suzuki on the Island affords children and their families a unique opportunity to learn and grow musically and culturally. In a mutually satisfying way, skills and music making are taught, learned and shared. In a step-by-step process, the best is brought out of each child. By laying a firm foundation, as Dr. Suzuki said, "the seed can grow and blossom."
