What is your background in the Suzuki methodology?

Suzuki is over 50 years old, and its benefits are innumerable. As one of the most common music techniques, an interviewer may very well ask you your thoughts on the practice. Be ready to explain how you have used it or what value it could bring to students.

"I have used the Suzuki method over my last ten years of teaching. I love the approach because it brings parents into the picture to help with their kids. This creates multi-levels of teaching for students to enhance their musical understanding."

Anonymous Answer

Suzuki IMO is great for string players but not ideal for piano students. Ear developed while reading skills not. The goal is for the two to meet. Most times it does not.
