Lessons
At Taniguchi Violins we offers lessons to both children and adults in violin, viola, or cello. We utilize the Suzuki method but understand that each student is unique and may require a different approach.
We have been involved with the Suzuki method for over 20 years, either as a student, parent, or tea
cher. Dr Suzuki based his approach on the belief that “Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed. Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability, just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited.”
Shinichi Suzuki was a violinist, educator, philosopher and humanitarian. Born in 1898, he studied violin in Japan for some years before going to Germany in the 1920s for further study. After the end of World War II, Dr. Suzuki devoted his life to the development of the method he calls Talent Education.
Dr. Suzuki’s goal was not simply to develop professional musicians, but to nurture loving human beings and help develop each child’s character through the study of music.
This too is our philosophy. For more information please read: http://suzukiassociation.org/parents/twinkler/
Transfer students, Adults, Fiddlers are most welcome. We do not just teach young children, but students of all ages.
