Introduction
Wow! Isn't the internet amazing? When I was a young teacher just starting out in 1976, I had little in the way of resources. I had one book to consult about how to apply the Suzuki method of Talent Education. It was Dr. Suzuki's "Nurtured by Love" book. I read the entire book in about an hour (it's short), but I had so many questions. Since that time, I have taken many Suzuki teacher trainings, and I have had the benefit of gaining experience by teaching full time. I can now diagnose a student or teacher issue within minutes and offer helpful solutions. Come join me in a discussion of teaching or learning the Suzuki Method for violin. Post your questions or comments about your particular situation, and I'll do my best to answer them.

I am the mom of a four and six year old boys just finishing their first year of Suzuki. I am a professional flutist and seasoned teacher on that instrument, but do not play the violin. We have been REALLY struggling. I have been loving your series on the book one pieces and look forward to your posts on motivation. I have been enjoying your blog so much that I decided to go back to the beginning today and read it all. I,ll probably have a lot of questions along the way. Just wanted to let you know why you,d suddenly be seeing all these crazy comments on super old posts!
