Suzuki may be a name renowned for automobiles, but this book introduces us to a very different Suzuki – the Suzuki who was a world leader in the teaching of music.
Dr Shinichi Suzuki, creator of "The Suzuki Method", is well remembered for his extraordinary warmth, care, and sense of humour.
Part biography, part memoir, this important book recalls scenes from Suzuki's life, and many of the author's own experiences as his student in Japan. Both humorous and culturally informative, this book illustrates how Suzuki was influenced by Japanese history and his Zen beliefs, making him "the son of his environment".
Above all, this book reminds us that Suzuki gave far more to the world than just a method of teaching. In the book Suzuki Violin School, Volume 1, Dr Suzuki gives an impassioned plea to parents:
Please raise your child to be a fine human being.
Students, teachers, and lovers of music and history alike will enjoy this stroll through the life and teachings of the quick-witted Dr Suzuki, who turned the music education world upside down.
