I’d like to comment on what Brother Kyle said about the Suzuki music method. He has no idea how wrong he is. As a Suzuki student and now a Suzuki cello teacher, I can tell you that this method works. It is NOT simply, as Kyle had said, “listen to the music and then you’ll know how to play”. Listening is a BIG part of it as it helps your brain know what it is you are learning. Suzuki students do learn how to read music, but it is reinforced by listening to the recordings and imitating what you see and hear from a private teacher. Children do NOT learn how to speak by reading books. So why would we expect them to learn how to play by reading notes? I am not angered by what Kyle said, but I didn’t want anyone who may have been considering Suzuki to be turned off by what Kyle said as he was simply uninformed. The Suzuki method has been around for over 60 years now and continues to grow worldwide. I’ll get off my soap box now. Thanks for the awesome podcast!
