Parent Involvement

Given that the Suzuki Method focuses on teaching younger children the art of playing a musical instrument, parental involvement is essential to making the method a success. Parents are required to come to every lesson and take notes on what the teacher does with their child. The teacher will guide and instruct the parent on what the student needs to do at home in their daily practice time. Then, at home, the parent is responsible to take on the role of the teacher and practice with their child every day. A student should never practice unsupervised until much later in his musical development.
