Music is the language of the heart without words.”

~ Shinichi Suzuki

There are a number of ways to approach violin learning. Brookland Strings follows the Suzuki Method.

The Suzuki Method is a unique approach to violin learning that emphasizes parental involvement and a nurturing environment. Rather than focusing solely on technical skills, the method aims to cultivate a love for music and a positive mindset towards learning. It is based on the belief that children can learn music in the same way they learn their native language, through immersion and repetition.

Parents play a crucial role in the Suzuki Method. They attend lessons with their child, practice at home, and provide emotional support. This close involvement creates a strong bond between the child and the music, making learning a joyful experience. The method also emphasizes group lessons, where students play together and learn from each other. This fosters a sense of community and encourages peer support.
