For the best results a parent should attend the weekly lesson and become wholly involved. Many past Suzuki students are now professional musicians and teachers throughout Australia and overseas. Although the Suzuki method began as just a method for teaching the violin, it has grown into a magical thing. Not only do children world-wide now learn violin, viola, cello, double bass, piano, flute, guitar, harp by the Suzuki Method, but many parents have discovered that the philosophy can be transposed into every day life, affecting the whole family by the positive approach it generates. Too often in this world do we criticise and pull down our family and friends, seldom do we give praise where it is due.
Few adults have a healthy ego .
Suzuki Method is the secret of raising children to be happy adults. A group of Adelaide students and teachers fled from the cold wet July weather to warm sunny Rockhampton. Several of the Yeppoon Suzuki students joined us and played with us in the concerts. Most of the concerts were held out of doors. In the weekend we travelled to Great Keppel Island.
