Suzuki guitar lessons
The Suzuki Method was conceived in the mid-20th century by violinist Shinichi Suzuki when he realized the implications of the fact that children all over the world learn to speak their native language with ease. Suzuki believed that every child, if properly taught, was capable of a high level of musical achievement. He also made it clear that the goal of such musical education was to raise generations of children with "noble hearts."
In addition to instilling a love of music, the Suzuki approach puts emphasis on the development of the child’s character. Suzuki students develop concentration skills, discipline, social skills, sensitivity, and self confidence. These experiences also transfer into many other areas of the child's life.
"The main concern for parents should be to bring up their children as noble human beings. That is sufficient. If this is not their greatest hope, in the end the child may take a road contrary to their expectations. Children can play very well. We must try to make them splendid in mind and heart also."
—Shinichi Suzuki
