The Suzuki Method

Research

The Suzuki method is a way of learning to play music. It was invented in the mid-20th century  by Dr. Shin'ichi Suzuki. Dr. Suzuki noticed that children pick up their native language very quickly and seldom fail to learn it, so he modelled his method, which he called "Talent Education," after the process of natural language acquisition. Dr Suzuki believed that every child, if properly taught, was capable of a good level of musical achievement.
