I completed my both my Suzuki book 1 & 2 training under the direction of Dr. Laurie Scott, Associate Professor of Music and Human Learning at the University of Texas in Austin. I completed my Suzuki book 3 training with Ms. Marilyn O'Boyle, a highly accomplished Suzuki teacher who studied under the great teachers who brought this teaching method to the United States. Each of the courses where about a week long and required intensive outside study and observation. I am very grateful for my opportunity to take part in these courses and expand my learning community.

What is the Suzuki Method?
The Suzuki Method is a way to teach private music lessons that was developed by Dr. Shinichi Suzuki. He named his technique as “Talent Education” and based it on first language acquisition or the “Mother Tongue” approach. This method is concentrated upon parent involvement which requires them to aid in creating a musical environment. Through lessons, listening and at home practice, parents will help their child succeed at not only learning an instrument, but learning key life skills – such as responsibility, reasoning and becoming life-long music listeners. The lessons will be organized around a series of course books that include pieces that are accurately sequenced to teach new skills incrementally. All students learn at different rates but if both the child and parent are willing to learn and allow time to foster new skills, success can be achieved. Many teachers apply his methods to orchestra programs all over the nation and have seen great benefits for their students.
