Well now I can continue now. Yeah it's wonderful to see somebody who feels so much enthusiasm for the essence of the excellent Suzuki teaching method. You really brought up a lot of great points 🙂 in your discussion. I share a real love for the Suzuki methodology as well too. I basically grew up as a guitar player who mostly enjoyed playing by ear, and singing songs eventually and composing a little bit. I would play the chords and recite the acronyms for remembering the notes hahaha. I had a friend who was an incredible piano player and her mother went into great detail of she learned through the Suzuki method. It was a really musical family. Anyways some years later I walked in my house and I could hear my son playing violin. I was so shocked and so surprised and so inspired that eventually I had to get a violin and start trying this Suzuki method. I found a lot of supportive videos on KZbin for it and in short, really fell in love with the music especially as it came to Bach and I discovered the truth of listening to the music to the point that you understand it on the inside. It's like a collection of excellent stories you listen to until you really absorb them and they come apart of you. I remember getting Aesop's fable record book when I was a kid and I listened to it thousands of times. Anyhow, I was so surprised you know the feeling when you master a piece of music and it's so inside of you, well I was feeling so much joy from the classical music I couldn't believe it as compared to playing pop music for so many years. Then learning how to read music more fluently was really a wonderful Joy too. So now I find myself teaching music at public school and naturally I turn my attention to the Suzuki method with the piano and I just bought a kid's violin too. It's so very true, by listening to the music, it's like your soul learns to love and appreciate the music so much that it naturally wants to come out. That is how I would describe it. Anyways on Christmas holidays here, I decided to focus on piano since it's a good instrument to learn and I'll be really excited to finally learn the Bach pieces on piano for the next Suzuki book. I'm sure I will be drawing upon your videos a lot. Thanks for sharing with the world. It's such a noble, altruistic thing to do, and I agree the teaching of music to others is a priceless gift. Keep them coming. James

wow James I am so very grateful for your comments! I am happy you have found so much joy from music in your life. I have really observed a deeper level of connection to the music, a more active listening and creative experience as a performer as students try to get a SPECIFIC sound to come out of the instrument, and more connection emotionally to the music for both performers and listeners through the Suzuki method. Please keep the comments coming and as you learn more I would love to answer any specific questions you have about technique or requests for lessons on a piece you are studying. the world needs more passionate music educators; thanks for sharing music with the next generation.

@@MichelleSweeny hey there. I didn't see this response it probably didn't go to my email. But I'm glad I checked up on you because I took this winter break to try working on Suzuki piano, and I've been having a lot of fun. I was a little intimidated with some of the left-handed technique in a few of the early songs. But surprisingly I got through them and I'm almost finished the book. Mind you, I'm not playing to the professional standard for adjudication. I've just learned them to my own satisfaction. I really fall in love with the way in which they tell you which fingers to use by number and they help you navigate the little puzzle of piecing it all together with your two hands. Now I should say, I could always play a little bit of piano, which includes all the chords and basically some oompa left hand bass type of rhythms. I can't believe that I'm reading the bass clef so fast with my left hand which always seem like some huge insurmountable task. One of the reasons I'm so excited to press forward is I can't wait to play Bach in the next book which is probably one of my highest goals. I assumed it was in the first book but I guess that will be for the second book. I was surprised to see the left hand bass clef patterns were mostly really simple and only slightly deviating to add usually one additional chord. That definitely makes it easy to read the bass clef. You know there's that important concept, when you truly Master a piece of music and completely absorb it, you can play yourself right into the presence of the Creator. This is something like the yoga meditation of music, and it's mystical metaphysical nature.

Does the method work for adults without prior musical upbringing? Does it allow any choice of songs such as doing mostly minor key for those who do not like major key?
@MichelleSweeny
@MichelleSweeny 6 ай бұрын
in a broad sense, Suzuki method is an approach to teaching, a philosophy that can be applied to any music in any key-- Major and minor keys. You can learn by ear, your teacher can focus on technique in lessons, and you can memorize all your music as you learn it. if you find a Suzuki piano teacher that is well trained and also open minded about repertoire it could certainly work. But you should also have an open mind to laying a foundation with the book one repertoire because it teaches so much technique through those specific songs. You can think of them as studies or etudes instead of children's songs-- the advantage to having children's songs as the base for our study is because they are familiar and easy to memorize so you can focus on the movement of your fingers, the direction your wrist is circling, the drop of arm weight into the keys. You could easily play all of the book one songs in minor keys if you prefer.

Hi Michelle, I feel the same way about the Suzuki method of making musicians. I have a music degree (from years ago) . I studied and helped teach students in the violin suzuki program. Now, due to a tragedy where my Mom was left blind and can no longer teach her piano students, I have been teaching them. Of course I do play the piano also and have studied at the university level, so I feel comfortable teaching them in general. I am starting a new little girl and want to use the Suzuki method. I wonder if you can give me some advice? My little girl has a short attention span, but has so far mastered all the notes on the piano and we are learning many basics. I have been trying to teach her to clap or pat our rythyms of Mississippi Hot Dog. Its slow going. Also, I've been having her march to the beat of classic marches (at the end of the lessons). Tomorrow I am going to have the Mother come to the lesson and introduce her to the important role she or Dad can have to accelerate her progresss. The problem is, they have many children, ( all who I took over teaching) - , and I'm just not sure anyone can spend the time with her every week at the lessons or even at home like any true program in Susuzk would require. So....Im going to have to do a modified version of Suzuki. Here is my question: First, how can I get trained and certified as a PIANO suzuki teacher; - - for a modified version I will ask the Mother come once a month at least. What would you think I should have the student listen to as often as possible (hopefully daily) besides the initial Twinkle variations? Are there tapes of the pieces in book two or other classical pieces important for her to know well? In general, how do I best utilize Mom? I know my questions are so general, but I'd appreciate any input and direction. The only reason I'm trying this for my new student is for how much I loved teaching the method on violin, and like you love the approach.

hi Beth!!! to get certified you attend a workshop for a week at a Suzuki conference with a teacher trainer. they are all over the world, so check the Suzuki website to find one near you. when I did it I paid about $800, I'm not sure how much it costs now... but it's worth every penny. seriously. Suzuki lessons are so superior and families who want Suzuki will pay more for a Suzuki teacher. but overall , the pedagogy is incomparable. it's awesome. put it on your radar for someday. until you can make that happen --- look through my Suzuki piano lesson videos. I try to share all the concepts I learned through my Suzuki training in each lesson and I go up through book two in my online lessons. it's not a replacement for a teacher trainer --- I don't have nearly enough knowledge to compare with an experienced Suzuki trainer. but I can get you started. and there are a few overview videos about the way we organize and present lessons and how we teach arm weight that would be particularly helpful for you as you take over all your mom's students. if possible. my biggest piece of advice if you are taking over an established studio--- have your students overlap for at least 15-20 minutes, observing the lessons of their peers either before or after their lesson time. observation of lessons ahead of behind is the best kind of reinforcement and exposure for the students to see where they are going and how much they have learned. and have monthly masterclasses if you can --- a group piano lesson where most kids get to perform for each other and share feedback and get a mini lesson from you. as far as parents are concerned.... it depends on the kid. some can practice independently that young. but they will learn six times faster with a practice partner. perhaps in this situation an older sibling might have the right personality and temperament to help their little sister? my student from a family of four kids is able most weeks to arrange to have mom attend the lesson and take notes. it doesn't hurt to ask. true Suzuki programs require a parent workshop called every child can where parents are educated in their role as practice partner. it's a very important piece of the learning process until they establish how to practice. and lastly. I'm so sorry about your mom, that sounds hard. however some of the greatest musicians are blind. why stop teaching established piano students? you may need to take over for teaching reading or helping new beginners, but I taught Suzuki piano at the school for the blind and they are some of the most brilliant pianists I have worked with. she can listen, she can explain, she can count and clap and talk about musicality........ if this is her passion perhaps she can hang on to some of her more advanced students or team teach with you.

listen to every song every day and practice every song every day for the first year. I have a KZbin listening playlist, or they can play the recording. at first, most of practicing will just be listening to all the songs while playing with toys or coloring. then with each lesson, add on a few more activities like the clapping, frog family, etc. building up technique each week and eventually playing music. but listen first. it's absolutely essential to listen daily. Suzuki doesn't work without daily listening. it is more important than sitting down to practice.

Oh that's a good question to look into! Did you like learning through the Suzuki method as an adult? It's fantastic repertoire and has a lot of overlap with the strings so probably felt familiar since many of the songs are in the cello books Did you learn the songs by ear or through reading? I think the adult mind works differently than a child... And I wonder if it would be as easy to learn by ear. Hmmmm. When I studied child development, I learned that there is a part of the brain that learns language that closes off around age 7 to 10. So I think the answer to that is it would be less natural to learn by ear as adults, but honestly I haven't used the Suzuki method with adult students. What was your experience?

Hello @Michelle Sweeny , From my experience as an adult who has been learning piano for one year and eight months, to answer your question, I would say: "Yes, but...". If I have to describe my current skills, I would say that I am able to learn and perform reasonably well (though not necessarily up to speed) classical repertoire up till grade 4-5 ABRSM/Trinity standards, if it is to bring to performance level. If it is just for improving my sight-reading and analytical skills "easy-peasy", within 1-2 weeks, I will choose grade 2-3 repertoire. I say all these because, well... There is more than listening, repeating and hitting the right notes when when playing piano (or any instrument, somehow). I have Suzuki books at home, but I am using them as supplement, because... despite my ease to remember tunes, identify pitches and being sensitive to patterns, my biggest challenge is motor skills. Everyone is struggling with something while learning an instrument, so you have to find a method which works for you. Initially, I wanted to use the Suzuki books and pedagogy as my primary learning method. However, my clumsiness wouldn't help me go beyond half of Suzuki piano book 1. So instead, I started to take lessons with the Hoffman Academy (which is originally designed for children, by the way...), grew my pianistic experience with the Alfred Piano adventure Books. Then, at some point, I tried my skills on the Suzuki Books. I could play the book 1 just by sight-reading, finished book 2 in one month and a half. Recently, I started to focus on the repertoire list of Trinity exam grade 3 and some pieces were also part of some Suzuki books. It means that yes, I am using the books, but not in the intended order. For instance, I recently used Book 5 to learn Fur Elise and Book 4 to learn the Arabesque from Burgmuller. I am conscious that using the books doesn't necessarily equates using the method. But if I analyze my piano journey, I have been using Suzuki's principles. Listening to the repertoire before playing is one aspect of it. Performing in public and playing with other people. But the more I advanced in my learning, the more I felt necessary to understand what I was playing. I hope my comment is helpful.

@@robbgregorrichard1009 Wow Robb this is so interesting to hear how you have progressed. How much time do you typically spend practicing each week? You have made quite a bit of progress in just a year and a half! I have a new student who started with the Hoffman method and she has such a fantastic foundation. I need to learn more about it. I'm glad it worked for you to get further along. Suzuki books are unfortunately not very descriptive; there is very little written about how to study each piece and it's passed down from teacher trainers and workshops and conferences from one Suzuki teacher to the next. Would you be interested in videos teaching the Suzuki pieces to adult students? If yes, what pieces are you working on and needing instruction for? What are the motor skills you need more help with?

When I went to my first Suzuki Piano lesson as a little girl, I sat and watched my mom take a piano lesson. then I had a turn.... learning and listening and practicing together is one of the best ways!!! I'm going to have to think about that question. it's not that you need baby songs.... but there is so much foundation built into book one and the "baby songs" are actually etudes that teach all the fundamentals of piano technique. it would be impossible to begin with book two with no prior experience. those book two pieces are actually more like a third year level in any other method. I encourage you to peruse my Suzuki Piano lesson playlist to answer this question. for book one it's not about Mary had a little lamb so much as putting a right hand melody with left hand chords. it's learning how to match an Alberti bass pattern with any melody (absolutely essential for Mozart and Beethoven and Haydn) and it's about the finger and wrist and arm technique to produce staccato, legato, weighted melodies, and musical phrasing.

as a comprehensive method to learn classical piano there is no method that I have found that sets you up for success that is better than Suzuki. the baby songs are only the first eight or so in book one, and then from there on out it is Bach and Schubert and Mozart and Beethoven. but if you want to learn another way..... there are always other ways. Like for example this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naG9dGuXa7ufiLs or you can check out my friend Brianne who teaches a really accessible and rewarding method that is geared towards adult beginners who don't want baby songs. I will find her info and share in the comments.

For school subjects I have noticed that it is very motivating for her if I work with her, short sessions but often instead of once per week. Before organizing a new teacher I would like to try Suzuki a bit on my own, I know my daughter but not piano so I need to find some guidance on how I can teacher Suzuki just to get up her interest again and then we can continue with a teacher. Do you have any videos, books etc that can help me find exercises that I can do with her? Does the Suzuki-book provides this guidance? Last time we played was fun, so she has a song from her current teacher that she likes. So we practiced a very short part of this song together, we played it slow, super-fast, with high and low tones, with her eyes closed etc. It was great and I think she really could practice one part of the song without it being boring. I need to make it interesting. I need though more ideas what I can suggest to her. We have done math when running or learning multiplication by playing games. etc. Would really appreciate your comments on this :-) thanks!

This is inspiring. I just started harp lessons with the Suzuki method, & have been worried because over 30 years ago, as a child I took Suzuki piano lessons. I had seen my older sisters use another method & progress between songs & books, so I was discouraged with the Suzuki method. I was a child but still got so sick of the songs & felt like I wasn’t progressing because I was in book 1 for so long, so I quit. If I had understood this, & that it wasn’t me but the program, I may have continued. I didn’t understand why I was stuck playing the same nursery rhymes for so long & why I couldn’t read music effectively yet. The good thing is that all of these decades later I still have my training inside of me & it’s coming out in my harp playing. I am able to pick up songs quickly by ear, & many of the songs are the same from piano. I had to break the habit of plucking the string like I was picking up a Kleenex though😅. I am planning on following your Suzuki piano lessons to relearn & add to my past training. Thank you!

When a Suzuki student completes book two, they have scales, note reading skills, and are ready to really go in any direction they want with piano if they don't want to continue the classical path. But yeah that's good to know that you didn't appreciate the nursery rhymes.... some students need different music. good luck with the harp! that's exciting!

A while ago I tried to learn playing piano by myself. I always wanted to play violin for I find the sound of a violin being the most wonderful sound this world has to offer but piano comes on the second place. I tried to learn it patiently but at some point I felt I am not progressing so after I got to relatively know where on the keyboard the notes are, surprisingly I started to play music. It was my music. Basically I went from Twinkle, Twinkle to something else entirely. What I play is like movie music and I can picture the movie while that music is played for the first time ever. I feel happy every time I play my piano even sounds don't seem to always fit. I make them fit and when I do this, my movie is ready. I wish I had the chance to learn like everybody learns, from a music teacher.

yes! we really focus on arm weight with twinkle B on the second note of the pattern. dropping the finger onto that key to produce a round ringing tone. that piece establishes the arm weight technique and we refer back to it in lessons any time the melody needs to have more arm weight.

thanks for this honest feedback, you are right!!!! this video is far too long and rambling. it's definitely time to update it. to answer your question..... the Suzuki method uses a concert pianist's style of piano lessons. just like conservatory students, we memorize, study relevant technique, polish and perfect each piece, spending 3-4 months on each little song to really master and learn everything we can from it. That's the point of the first five minutes. Then for music acquisition: Suzuki method teaches to play by ear first, reading music second. but I will simplify it further and make a better video.
