  About Suzuki Teaching
  
  
  The Suzuki "Mother Tongue" concept compares learning music to learning your native language.
  
  First a student listens, constantly, to the sounds to be produced.
  
  Efforts toward the first sounds are consistently repeated ("mama", "dada") and highly encouraged. "Good! again; good!, again."
  
  Reading is added only after sound production is well established
  
  The "Suzuki Triangle", the working relationship of student-parent-teacher, must be consistent and have ongoing communication.
  
  In the beginning, parents take responsibility for repetition (practice) like they do with tooth brushing and bathing.
  
  As the student grows into late elementary and middle school years the responsibility for practice transfers from parental discipline to student self-discipline.
