We serve Palm Beach and Martin Counties, with studios in Stuart and Jupiter, Florida. Dr. Shinichi Suzuki developed his teaching philosophy because he wanted to open a world of beauty to children by creating an environment that enables them to learn music the same way that they learn to speak their native language. The Suzuki Method is also called the mother-tongue method. The ideas of an early beginning, parent responsibility, loving encouragement, constant repetition and listening, playing in groups, delaying note reading, and learning a graded repertoire are some of the special features of the Suzuki method.
