Nurtured by Love by Shinichi Suzuki


"Intuition is the reliability slumbering at the base of rational experiences, and it works in an instant when needed.

"Master Every Step"...develop ABILITY rather than the number of pieces.

[on technique on violin]..."...most important single factor ...is...QUICKLY TIMED PREPARATION OF BOTH HANDS for each note. Generally the left hand must be in place a split second before the bow moves."

QUESTION : In the Suzuki appraoch, Where are the scales and etudes?

ANSWER : We extract [abstract] the technical material from the pieces. ( NOTE remember that Suzuki has a carefully selected repertoire.)

"Become accustomed to repetition of the same repertoire over extended periods. Form the habit of looking for NEW ideas in the pieces,(accents, connection of tones etc.)

"Art is not in some far-off place. A work of Art is the expression of a man's whole personality, sensibility and ability.

  " ... ( I )... searched for the meaning of art in music, and it was through music that I found my work and my purpose in life... I discovered it was a tangible thing.

The real essence of art turned out to be not something high up and far off. It was right inside my ordinary everyday self. The very way one greets people and expresses oneself is art. If a musician wants to become a fine artist, he must first become a finer person."
