Suzuki Triangle

Suzuki Triangle: Teacher, Parent and Child

Teacher is responsible for:

• Training the parent to be an effective home teacher to the child.
• Teaching the child how to play with beautiful tone, technique and interpretation

Parent is responsible for:

Putting on Suzuki Recording for both parents and child to hear daily at home and during car rides.

• Attending all child's lessons and understanding of points of each lesson.
• Daily practice with the child which includes:
• Creating the proper environment so the child will have a successful learning experience.
• Playing the recording as requested by the teacher.
• Assisting the child with memorizing a piece as needed.
• Teaching and supervising the daily home lesson.

Child is responsible for being a child which means:

• The child will learn from whatever is put in his environment.
• Most children enjoy learning music by ear if given the opportunity and proper surroundings.
• Gradually children learn to assume responsibility for their work as they mature, but it takes time and cannot be rushed.
• Children become responsible, cooperative and disciplined, not because parents tell them they should be, but rather because they see their parents behaving this ways and follow their example.
