Reviews
This is a must for any parent starting a child in the Suzuki method. Excellent explanations for parents who may have learned by traditional methods when they were children. Dr. Suzuki's approach is different. His approach is that a child can learn to play a musical instrument like the child learns to speak the native language: by repetition, encouragement from the parent with the parent being the "home teacher" and doing what the teacher has done in lessons. Therefore, the child begins by learning the music by rote memorization in the first book ....I call it "copy cat" and we make a game of that learning. Memory is developed and serves the child well as he/she ages in school and into the adult world. Hand position, sound production are also developed. This book prepares the parent to expect to wait to learn to read notes/rhythms/ etc. as in traditional methods until later in the lessons. Reading comes, but it is delayed until the basic touches, memory, etc. are developed.
