see tapes of Suzuki in action

March 29, 2007 at 10:30 AM

The Suzuki Association has a link on its web page to an archive from the University of Wisonsin. It is a series of 35 tapes of Suzuki teaching at Stephens Point in the mid-seventies. So I let Suzuki himself teach my 5 year old daughter last night. We sometimes have battles over following instructions, staying still (all of which she does perfectly in school, of course). So we noticed how all the children stayed focused and carefully watched during Twinkle and the other exercises he did with them. Later her "best friend froggy" had a lesson (watched by an audience of stuffed animals) on his cardboard tube violin. She wore my shoes so she could look more like a Suzuki teacher. If you are interested in seeing Suzuki action you should visit this archive and check it out.
