This review is from: To Learn with Love (Paperback)
The William and Constance Starr's book is written by two professional musicians, Suzuki teachers and Suzuki parents of 8. It is based on the extensive personal experience and close interaction with Shinichi Suzuki while living in Japan and by hosting him at their house in the US. The book's main themes are the practice of teaching children music using Suzuki method and topics relevant to raising children in general, each taking roughly a half of the book.The narrative is both inspirational and practical, while the chapters are to the point: a statement is made and illustrated by a real life example. The book is certainly an invaluable companion for a Suzuki parent with advises ranging from choosing a teacher and supervision of practice to child's participation in orchestras. But it also should appeal to any parent who feels that raising children is one of his top priorities: nurturing a positive self-image with a "yes, I can" attitude, importance of tradition, woes of sibling rivalry and significance of correct diet are some of the issues that the book tackles. I would recommend this book to any parent.

Good Book for Suzuki Parents,

This review is from: To Learn with Love (Paperback)
I was recommended this book by my kids violin teacher. I found this book to be full of very helpful advice and great perspectives. The authors are both music teachers and parents and the perspective they provide is helping greatly as my kids are learning Suzuki violin. It's a must read for any parent who has a kid learning a musical instument.

My son has been in Suzuki violin school for one year. I recently bought this book and read a page or more each day. Various topics are introduced and then talked about by Mr. or Mrs. Starr, and/or by a parent of another violinist or pianist). I often feel relief after reading, knowing then that a problem isn't really a problem, just a normal part of the child's development or skill development that can resolve with love, patience, creativity! Inspiration and joy of teaching throughout. Lots of parent anectdotes. I am inspired by this book and can highly recommend.
