As a new "Suzuki" parent, I was so delighted to discover Dr. Suzuki's book and philosophy - that anything can be learned. The Suzuki method is not so much about training violin prodigies as it is about developing what he calls "noble feelings" basically character: discipline, concentration, work ethic, values etc. What more can parents want for their child?This is not a scientific book -- it's obviously his opinion that "nurture" is more important than "nature" (i.e. talent is learned not something that you are born with) and there are some things he says that time has proven wrong (the part about the wolf-children for instance which later was revealed as a hoax.) However, I found his story and philosophy very inspiring and with many elements that made a lot of sense.I highly recommend this book for (and his attitude) for parents (and teachers) whether their kids are taking violin lessons or not.
