All About music
Learning a musical instrument has numerous benefits that extend beyond just the ability to play music. Children as young as three, can learn to play the guitar. Making music is fun and can set your child on a path to cultivate a joy of learning at a young age, as well as help develop his/ her focus and concentration skills. As children grow, music education can foster self-discipline, increase self esteem, improve study skills and academic performance as well as provide healthy and creative avenues for self expression. Regardless of age, the study of music and specifically the Suzuki Guitar Method can increase mutual respect and understanding between a parent and a child.
The Suzuki Guitar Method
Children learn music in a natural and direct way, very similar to the way they learn to speak. The aim of the Suzuki program is not to produce professional musicians, but to give children the experience, confidence, and appreciation of playing great music together. This method has proven not only that children are capable of learning to play a complex instrument, but that they derive genuine pleasure from their music making.
