Thoughts On The Suzuki Piano School
About this title:
By Haruko Kataoka. Edited by Judi Gowe. Suzuki method. 52 pages. Published by Warner Brothers. (0297)
THOUGHTS ON THE SUZUKI PIANO SCHOOL was written in 1985 by one of thegreatest exponents of the SUZUKI PIANO SCHOOL. Kataoka went to study withSuzuki after many years of piano study, and soon realized that traditionalapproaches to piano teaching were "wasting" the innate ability of youngerstudents. She hopes that through this little book she can bring to lightthe unnecessary "suffering" encountered by students and teachers who areusing the time-worn read/learn/memorize method of piano study. Some topicscovered include: a charming explanation of Shinichi Suzuki's philosophies,the Method itself, how to play, crucial points for beginners (listening,tone, parental assistance), and a thorough run-through of Volumes 1 and2 of the SUZUKI PIANO SCHOOL. Her personal touches, triumphs, failures,and enlightenment make very interesting reading. All teachers of SuzukiPiano will enjoy and benefit from reading this booklet. Even moreimportantly however, is the fact that non-Suzuki piano teachersespecially, should read this, and utilize some of Mrs. Kataoka's thoughtsin their teaching. Suzuki parents should alse be asked to read this bookto assist them in their vital role in the musical education of theirchildren. This book is full of good advice, knowledge, and fact.Contents: Thoughts On The Suzuki Piano School (Haruko Kataoka)
