To Learn With Love: A Companion for Suzuki Parents My son is just starting a suzuki program, and I found this book very helpful.
Wonderful The William and Constance Starr's book is written by two professional musicians, Suzuki teachers and Suzuki parents of 8. It is based on the extensive personal experience and close interaction with Shinichi Suzuki while living in Japan and by hosting him at their house in the US. The book's main themes are the practice of teaching children music using Suzuki method and topics relevant to raising children in general, each taking roughly a half of the book.
The narrative is both inspirational and practical, while the chapters are to the point: a statement is made and illustrated by a real life example. The book is certainly an invaluable companion for a Suzuki parent with advises ranging from choosing a teacher and supervision of practice to child's participation in orchestras. But it also should appeal to any parent who feels that raising children is one of his top priorities: nurturing a positive self-image with a "yes, I can" attitude, importance of tradition, woes of sibling rivalry and significance of correct diet are some of the issues that the book tackles.
I would recommend this book to any parent.
Good Book for Suzuki Parents I was recommended this book by my kids violin teacher. I found this book to be full of very helpful advice and great perspectives. The authors are both music teachers and parents and the perspective they provide is helping greatly as my kids are learning Suzuki violin. It's a must read for any parent who has a kid learning a musical instument.
