Dr. Suzuki Quotes
Music exists for the purpose of growing an admirable heart.
Knowledge is not skill. Knowledge plus ten thousand times is skill.
Man is a child of his environment.
Any child can be developed; it depends on how you do it.
I am mentally preparing myself for the five-year-old mind. I want to come down to their physical limitations and up to their sense of wonder and awe.
About Shinichi Suzuki
Shinichi Suzuki (17 October 1898 – 26 January 1998) was a Japanese musician, philosopher, and educator and the inventor of the international Suzuki method of music education and developed a philosophy for educating people of all ages and abilities. Considered an influential pedagogue in music education of children, he often spoke of the ability of all children to learn things well, especially in the right environment, and of developing the heart and building the character of music students through their music education. Before his time, it was rare for children to be formally taught classical instruments from an early age and even more rare for children to be accepted by a music teacher without an audition or entrance examination. Not only did he endeavor to teach children the violin from early childhood and then infancy, his school in Matsumoto did not screen applicants for their ability upon entrance. Suzuki was also responsible for the early training of some of the earliest Japanese violinists to be successfully appointed to prominent western classical music organizations. During his lifetime, he received several honorary doctorates in music including from the New England Conservatory (1956), and the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, was proclaimed a Living National Treasury of Japan, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace prize.
