All\nchildren learn to speak their own language with relative ease and if the same natural\nlearning process is applied in teaching other skills, these can be acquired as\nsuccessfully. Dr. Schinichi Suzuki referred to the process as the Mother Tongue\nMethod and to the whole system of pedagogy as Talent Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Who was Shinichi Suzuki?<\/strong><br>\nShinichi Suzuki (1898-1998) was born in Japan and studied western music in\nGermany in the 1920s. He first began teaching young children in Japan in the 1930s\nand further developed his ideas and philosophy of teaching during the post-war\nperiod. His approach to teaching has now spread to many parts of the world and is\nproving increasingly successful everywhere. Since Suzuki was a violinist, he first\napplied his ideas to the teaching of violin, but it has since been used with many other\ninstruments, in nursery school teaching and other more general areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Approach:<\/strong><br>\nThe important elements of the SUZUKI\u2122 approach to instrumental teaching include\nthe following-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An early start (aged 3-4 is normal in most countries)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The importance of listening to music<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learning to play before learning to read<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The involvement of the parent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A nurturing and positive learning environment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A high standard of teaching by trained teachers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">The importance of producing a good sound in a balanced and natural way<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Core repertoire, used by SUZUKI\u2122 students across the world<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Social interaction with other children: SUZUKI\u2122 students from all over the world can\ncommunicate through the language of music<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DE SUZUKI-METHODE is gebaseerd op het principe dat alle kinderen over bepaaldevaardigheden beschikken en dat deze vaardigheden kunnen worden ontwikkeld enverbeterd door middel van een stimulerende omgeving.
