Suzuki piano lessons.
Nurturing musical ability in the early years.
Can you remember your child learning to speak? The excitement, the pride, and your desire to hear them say words again and again? Well that’s how an instrument is learned the Suzuki way, and the reason why it's call the "mother tongue" approach.
The love behind celebrating every small step and the patience to encourage repetition after repetition are not only what nurtures speech development, but musical ability too.
At The Piano Barn parents and children learn alongside each other, step by step, in a nurturing and encouraging way, and making music from the very beginning.
Empowering Families Through Music
If you're looking for a sociable, fun and engaging way to learn music you've found it. Sue Bennett is a trained Suzuki piano teacher working with families and children from 3 years old.
The Piano Barn is in Kneesall, near Ollerton, Nottinghamshire.
Learning the "mother tongue" way
Suzuki music lessons begin with listening - at home, to the Suzuki repertoire and other recordings daily, and also during observation of other children's lessons every week.
Pupils play at first by ear. When they learn to speak we don't make them read their words first, so why expect them to read music before they can make music.
The whole approach mimics language acquisition, immersing children in music the same way they were exposed to their mother tongue before speaking it.
Suzuki Music Lessons
Shinichi Suzuki, founder of the Suzuki approach, based his teaching on one fundamental principle. Children succeed in learning their native language (even the most difficult dialects) almost without fail. Therefore, if music is taught in the same immersive and encouraging way they can become equally adept at playing an instrument.
