The main aspects of the Suzuki method are the following: * Listening --We must listen (lots) in order to progress. Most people can speak fluently in their native language from years of being immersed in the language. * Positive Environment—Let’s create a positive experience learning cello * Repetition and Accumulation -- We continue to review the pieces helping the student focus on more advanced aspects. I also encourage each student to do a solo recital where students perform the entire Suzuki book from memory when completed. * Learning to Read --I am a strong advocate of note reading, and make it a high priority. * One of my favorite parts of the Suzuki philosophy is that hard work is more valuable then talent.

More advanced students will be learning out of the Position Pieces books by Rick Mooney, Foundational Studies by Alwin Schroeder, as well as any other music that they are interested in. Read More
