Looking forward to the first Suzuki group class of the new year! I refer to these bookstores great group class activities and games. Carolyn McCall’s book was written specifically with groups in mind. Many of the activities are zoom-able. While not ostensibly a “group class” book, “Sharpen Your Tools” has wonderful practice suggestions, many of which work well in group lessons. #suzukimethod #suzukigroup #suzukigroupclass #suzukitriangle #suzukiteacher #suzukiviolin #mothertongue #talenteducation #violinteacher #violinclass #violinist #musiceducation #musiceducationmatters #violinlessons #musicclass #musicclassesforkids #violinpractice #musicpractice #violintips #twinkletwinklelittlestar #lessonplanning #zoomlessons (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFPt3R0A18Y/?igshid=ilcwbp3ean34

Zeri i Shpirtit qe Mrekulloi nje Komb te Tere

Rastesisht po shihja ne TV nje denoncim per nje ngjarje te perseritur ne shkollat shqiptare: mos-pranimi i nje femije autik ne shkollat publike. Nena e 7 femijeve e deshperuar shkonte nga nje drejtor shkolle te tjetri per te regjistruar femijen e saj ne klasen e trete, por asnjeri nuk i jepte zgjidhje. Edhe pse shkolla ka filluar, djali i saj autik nuk mundej ende te shkonte ne shkolle.

Parents - Teachers' Communication? -The Remaining Issue

Parents – Teachers’ Communication? -The Remaining Issue

My mother has been a teacher for 40 years and I’ve experienced issues of Parent – Teacher relationships on both sides. I remember when I was at school, we had Parents – Students – Teacher meetings, as well as only Parents – Teacher meetings at school. I was a very good student and my parents were so proud to participate in such meetings, as they heard great words about my behavior and my…

Happy Birthday Dr Suzuki! Shinichi Suzuki was born on this day, Oct 17th in 1899 in Nagoya, Japan. Suzuki’s family owned a violin factory (still in operation today); however the young Suzuki had no interest in music until he heard a recording by Mischa Elman as a young man. After hearing Elman’s tone Suzuki decided to learn violin and eventually studied in Europe where he befriended the great Physicist Albert Einstein, who was also a violinist. After returning to Japan, Suzuki developed his method for violin teaching based on the assumption that every child can learn to play music expressively as they learn their native language by creating a nurturing and stimulating environment. Suzuki was able to leverage technology as Japan’s consumer electronics industry was developing, emphasized the role of listening to beautiful music from a young age! Suzuki’s method has been adapted for many instruments and voice. Here are a few of the books in my personal collection written by or about Suzuki: Nurtured by Love - Suzuki (Waltraud and Seldon translations) Young Children’s Talent Education & Its Method - Suzuki (Seldon) To Learn with Love - William & Constance Starr My Life with Suzuki - Waltraud Suzuki Suzuki Changed my Life- Masaaki Honda The Suzuki Violinist - William Starr #suzukimethod #suzukimethodviolin #suzukiviolinmethod #suzukiviolin #suzukiviola #violinteacher #violintechnique #violinpedagogy #stringplayer #musiceducation #musiceducationmatters #musiceducationforkids #musicianlife #musicteacher #suzukiteacher #musicteacherlife #musicteachersofinstagram #violininstructor #practiceroom #suzukitriangle #musicsaveslives #musicsaves #shinichisuzuki #nurturedbylove #mothertongue #talenteducation (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGcUE59gJOG/?igshid=ymgokckg8uf4

Tonalization Tuesday! Balance the rosin! Balancing rising on top of the head encourages a tall back and neck for easy playing position. I like to add some side to side motion from my legs to make sure I’m not standing rigidly. Posture should be tall and released! #tonalization #tonalizationtuesday #violin #violinist #violinteacher #suzukiteacher #suzukiviolin #suzukiviolinmethod #stringplayer #violintechnique #violinpedagogy #violintips #suzukitriangle #posture #standingtall #practicemakesprogress #practicepracticepractice #40hours #practiceroom #365daysofpractice #musiceducation #violinguy #violinpractice #shinichisuzuki #talenteducation #mothertongue #rosin #leatherwoodrosin #violinrosin #balance (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEUVNLHgsnq/?igshid=4tnxns3z2of8
