Malvern Suzuki is a registered charity who exist to provide string teaching for children from as young as 3 years.
There is a strong emphasis on the fun of learning music especially for beginners. Children have a 30 minute lesson each week with a workshop every 4th week. This allows the children to play with others and hear those who are a little more advanced. The termly concert at which all students play is a fantastic opportunity for children to gain confidence and recognition for their efforts.
If you would like to bring your child along to our next workshop in October and see what it is all about, please make arrangements by calling the above number.
What is the Suzuki Method?
The Suzuki Method of music education is based on the philosophy and teaching methods developed by the Japanese violinist, pedagogue, educator and humanitarian, Dr. Shinichi Suzuki.
Dr. Suzuki believed in the great potential of music to enrich children’s lives. He developed a method of music education to enable children to play music to their highest possible level of ability. His method was derived from his observation of the ease and facility with which young children learn to speak their own language. He analyzed and adapted these precepts of language development into a system of music education which was aptly named the ‘mother tongue’ approach. He began to teach using these methods and soon set up an institute of music in Matsumoto, Japan. In 1964, Suzuki took his first group of musicians to play in the United States. The musicianship and confidence of these young students playing demanding solo repertoire astounded the audiences who heard them.
