The Suzuki Talent Education Association (STEAS) arrived in 2014 actually…! Sponsored by my friends at Synwin Music, today I participated at a Teacher’s workshop on the Suzuki Values & Teaching Method and to bring awareness to STEAS. Guest Speaker Mr Martin Rüttimann flew in to give us the insights of Dr Suzuki’s violin Methodology and why it works particularly well for young learners. There were also some young performers who gave us a demonstration of the Suzuki Method in action.
I wanted to write about learning the violin from the standpoint of someone who has already mastered the piano and the differences in thought and action of both the instruments this week. But this article from the strings magazine for the week was just too interesting to hold off from sharing.
