Dr Shinichi Suzuki is the man whose philosophy I aspire to hold to in my teaching life. 

Sometimes less speaks more, and on this page, instead of writing my words about him and his philosophy,

I would like to introduce you to some of the things Dr Suzuki wrote in his book 'Nurtured by Love'. 

I wish to let his words speak for themselves.

​

Disclaimer: I do not have any affiliation with the particular Suzuki 'school', or accreditation.

I have included this page in this website because my approach towards students lies in the Suzuki philosophy, 

which was what my own cello teacher raised me with. If you are interested in finding an actual accredited Suzuki teacher, please contact the Suzuki Office in NSW for suggestions, as I have no association with it.

"When Love is deep, much can be accomplished."

​

                               "Man is the Son of his environment."

                                                                                          "Any child can be developed.

                                                                                                 It depends on how you do it."

                 "Don’t hurry don’t rest.                                                                                                                  "There is no born genius.

                  Without stopping, without haste,                                                                                              Education is the way to develop ability."

                  carefully taking one step at a time

                  will surely get you there."                                           "There is no point where we can say,
                                                                                                                'This is enough.' Always seek finer music, finer performance.

                                            "Everyone can improve.                       Eventually this will change from a learning attitude

                                             With this belief                                      to a joyful quest which will last throughout our lives."

                                              I have advanced my ability                                                         "Talent Education,

                                              one step forward."                                                                            for the happiness of

                                                                                                                                                              all children."

​

                                                                                          "Beautiful Tone, Beautiful Heart."                          "Music is the language of the heart
                                                                                                                                                                                       without words."
                 "Do not hurt anybody’s heart."

 

"When Love is deep, much can be accomplished."
