One of my all time favorite books. My violin teacher gave this to me, and it has had a profound impact on my life. Talent has to be developed, and can be developed by anyone. I believe its message so much.

Truely a Must Read

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2005

Verified Purchase

Although he boarded with a great genius (Dr. Albert Einstein), Shinichi Suzuki was a great genius himself. A must read for everyone. A combination of Dale Carnegie (the greatness in everyone) and Miyamoto Musashi (repetition to master a skill). Not only does the author understand how we learn, he sees great potential in everyone and never finds fault with the individual. As a result, he is able accomplish the seemingly impossible. On the surface this is a "music" book but it is actually a learning guide for everyone. It teaches us how we learn and he uses simple examples (parakeet page 5) to illustrate his ideas. The methods can be applied to ourselves, pets, children, students, athletes, employees, etc.

As another review states, the book tends to jump around and doesnt use an outline or chapters. It is more a scoll of "great thoughts by a genius" and progesses like his teaching style - from the basics to the advanced.

Life Changing Book

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2006

Verified Purchase

This book revolutionized my life. I visited a Suzuki flute instructor and fell in love with this method. I saw how excited the children were about learning and how much joy they had. When I read the book I understood why. Dr. Suzuki has a mastery over how children respond to love and encouragement. Reading the stories in here about patience, love and encouragement changed the way I taught flute and also the way I approach life in general. I now try to emulate Dr. Suzuki's teachings in all my interactions. I would recommend this book to every music instructor, whether Suzuki or traditional, every teacher, every parent, and any person who works with or has contact with children. I bought this copy to give to a former student, to help him remember his roots as he begins his music career. I hope he will choose to emulate Dr. Suzuki's love and wisdom in his teaching.

Inspiring, visionary method for teaching children

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2013

Verified Purchase

As a new "Suzuki" parent, I was so delighted to discover Dr. Suzuki's book and philosophy - that anything can be learned. The Suzuki method is not so much about training violin prodigies as it is about developing what he calls "noble feelings" basically character: discipline, concentration, work ethic, values etc. What more can parents want for their child?

This is not a scientific book -- it's obviously his opinion that "nurture" is more important than "nature" (i.e. talent is learned not something that you are born with) and there are some things he says that time has proven wrong (the part about the wolf-children for instance which later was revealed as a hoax.) However, I found his story and philosophy very inspiring and with many elements that made a lot of sense.

I highly recommend this book for (and his attitude) for parents (and teachers) whether their kids are taking violin lessons or not.

This book by Shinichi Suzuki is part-description of the principles of his Talent Education method, part-snapshots of personal history, part-statements on his philosophy of life. It is written with great optimism and love for humane development of children into noble people. Based on his observation that all children speak their mother tongue fluently (and are thus highly capable to be educated in many disciplines) and on his belief that talent is not inherited but learned, Suzuki's method concentrates on creating the best environment for child development. His famous violin teaching method incorporates parent involvement, listening to the same piece many times and extensive practice, among others. Importance of memory training and good mentors (Einstein was one of Suzuki's) is stressed. Many real-life stories illustrate his points.
By way of criticism, while themes of compassion and developing a noble character recur throughout the book, it takes some effort to piece it all together. The book reads like a series of short improvisations on the themes of love and rearing of children. The parts of personal history, for example, with the description of illness, war and Suzuki's father's starting violin manufacturing business, while interesting, do not blend with the rest of the book. A chapter entitled "If you think of something do it" has nothing to do with its title (there is a chapter that talks about people of action in his other book, "Ability development from age zero", which repeats many of the stories verbatim). Some bits of Suzuki's take on life's truths, such as "an unfair advantage leads to evil" sound out of place.
In spite of some shortcomings, I would recommend this book. Not as a practical guide, but as an inspirational material for parents.

Suzuki education as a philosophy

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2012

Verified Purchase

This must read book for any new Suzuki Parents, unveils the founding principals of the Suzuki Movement. Here you will find the words of Dr. Suzuki and understand how the educational movement which he sparked was formed historically. It is an easy-read in that it is divided into fairly short topics, and due to the fact that Dr. Suzuki was certainly one to emphasize what he felt was important by re-stating it repeatedly throughout the book. His words were translated from Japanese into English by his native German wife, Waltraud, so the text at times doesn't seem to flow smoothly. This book has been quoted in numerous other Suzuki books and publications. I have found myself coming back to it and finding new snippets of wisdom. The encouraging words and loving, child-centered approach to raising our future generations, that Dr. Suzuki speaks of are still very relevant today.

Philosophie von Suzuki in Beispielen super vermittelt. schön zu lesen. Kinder können so viel wenn man positiv motiverend mit ihnen umgeht und sie haben eine so große Freude daran zu lernen. Es ist wunderbar und Kinder verdienen wirklich, daß man sich in dieser freudigen positiven Art um sie bemüht.

I got this book because at the time I had just begun teaching children the harmonica. It beautiful to read whether you teach music or not. Full of useful insights into working with and, how to encourage children. Nurtured by Love is an apt title, I was happily moved to tears by some of the writing in this book, full of understanding and indeed, Love.
