Nurtured by Love by Shinichi Suzuki


In this book Shinichi Suzuki presents the philosophy and principles of his teaching methods for developing the natural abilities of every child. In my experience the principles are largely valid for adult education and self-education as well.

Excerpts

"Talent is no accident of birth. A Newborn child adjusts to his environment in order to survive, and various abilities are acquired in the process."

"... it is possible for every person to improve himself. That is why I wrote this book. In it I tell how to develop a person's aptitude... how to change a person lacking in ability into a talented one, and a mediocre person into an exceptional one."

"What is man's ultimate direction in life? It is to look for love, truth, virtue and beauty."

" Our improvement in ability depends on action and the directing of our attention to doing things."

"Abilities are born and develop by the workings of the vital forces of the organism as it strives to live and adjust to its environment".

"...the ear for music will develop in direct proportion to the number of times the piece is heard....as long as the music is audible the life forces of the human being will unconsciously absorb it, making it part of the individual abilities". 		 

Nurtured by Love - by Shinichi Suzuki






" Having had the privilege of performing with many musicians over the years who have undergone the Suzuki training I can testify... it works! "

Peter Inglis





The beauty of earnest repetition.

" A fundamental principle is to work up the planted ability to the highest possible point. Learn one thing, and practise and polish it every day for perhaps three months.

During this time listen to the best performers in the world on records continously. ( see repertoire)

Then soon one will be able to play better, more and more excellently, and, so to speak, a new, higher level is born. By this time it is no longer technique only but the possession of spirit and heart."

"... musical sense develops GRADUALLY and imperceptibly..." Suzuki draws an analogy with the learning of speech patterns... ' accent'.

Patience is an important faculty for achievement.
