Editorial Reviews: This book is the cornerstone upon which to build any Suzuki-oriented library. In it the author presents the philosophy and principles of Suzuki's teaching methods. Through the examples from his own life and teaching, Suzuki establishes his case for early childhood education and the high potential of every human being, not just those seemingly gifted. Written by Shinichi Suzuki, translated by Waltraud Suzuki.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great choice for those interested in a great way to raise a great child Comment: Great book Suzuki is a loving and compassionate man who understands children and how to love them into their talents. Must read Customer Rating: Summary: Sticks with you for years. So simple, so right. Comment: I read this a few years ago. Yes, it's a bit meandering, and some of the insights (those who practice more, play better; gentleness is the best teaching technique) are less than revolutionary. Perhaps also because the book is so simple and so understated, it's easy to put it down unimpressed. With the passage of time I find myself more and more often referring back to the lessons about music and language, about practicing toward absolute comfort and ease with the material. It has helped me improve my playing, and it has helped with the lessons I give. When a book comes back and haunts you years after you read it, that's usually a very good sign. Customer Rating: Summary: Not Just for Musicians Comment: This book is a must-read for all parents and educators. Especially for those dealing with ages 0-5. Suzuki's sincere and genuine love for children really comes out in this book as he opens our minds to the amazing capabilities of their young minds. When children are taught well there is no limit to the things they can learn: languages, music, etc. Very inspiring and an easy enjoyable read! Customer Rating: Summary: More Biography than Teaching Manual Comment: Suzuki's writing is very informative, but not what I expected. In the introduction, he states he will focus more on practical application of his Talent Education system rather than speaking of it in theory. This "practical application" is presented by means of anecdotes from years of teaching. The reader learns much about Suzuki's life - working in his father's violin factory, spending a few months in Germany with physicist and virtuoso Albert Einstein - but less than I expected about how to teach a child to play the violin. He does mention certain techniques, such as teaching the mother to play a song first so that the child wants to play, but the majority of these instructions must be extracted by the reader from the context of the story that contains them. For example, he tells about teaching a blind boy to play the violin, how he gave tiny assignments each week (e.g. touching the tip of the bow with the left hand), and the reader must infer from the story that giving small tasks to be developed each week between lessons is the best way to build a child's ability. After reading, I wrote down 15 points that I infered from the stories - about 3/4 of a page. Customer Rating: Summary: An Enjoyable Read Comment: The book is an interesting peek into the life and philosophy of Shinichi Suzuki. There is some discussion of his teaching methods in the book, but the majority of the book is short anecdotes from Suzuki's life. Probably his fundamental educational point is that talent is not inherited, children are the fruit of training and environment. Any child can enter his Talent Education schools without a test, "because our schools are based on the premise that talent is not inborn, that every child acquires ability through experience and repetition".
