Suzuki Violin Lessons Versus Normal Violin Lessons - What Is Better?
Author : Pamelina Siow
When you decide to contract violin lessons, you will come across a great deal of information about the two most popular methods of learning, the traditional or the Suzuki method. Once you get your feet wet with information on violin learning, you will come across the Suzuki method, which has a great deal of advantages for children and for some adult learners.
Suzuki violin Lesson Overview:
Deciding between Suzuki violin lessons and traditional lessons is an individual decision. You should make a decision based on the advantages and disadvantages of each method and how effective you feel each one would be.
The Suzuki violin method is more "hands on" for both the parents and the student. This method needs the total cooperation of the parents in helping their children to practice. They need to be actively engaged in the learning process. It is a great way to interact with your child. Violin classes under this method are available for very young children, even for those as young as two or three years old.
Children first learn by listening then by playing what they listened to. They listen to recordings at home and then begin to play them. The Suzuki method emphasizes listening, watching, and then playing before starting to learn to read music. Essentially it is the same learning method in which children learn language acquisition. There is no child on earth that learns to read before beginning to speak and that learning comes from listening and watching.
In Suzuki violin lessons, the teacher gives both individual and group lessons. The idea behind the group lessons is to allow children to observe other children who play at a higher level.
Traditional Violin Lesson Overview:
The parents would not be required to be present in the traditional violin lessons. Violin classes usually begin between the ages of 6 and 10. In this method children don't listen to recordings at home, or before they start practicing. Learning to read music is emphasized right from the beginning, and often even before a child begins to play. Most traditional violin lessons are given individually and group classes are not taught.
Choosing between the two can be difficult, however many parents seem to prefer the Suzuki method, if only because it creates a parent/child activity from the learning process, and kids think it is a great deal of fun. The only issue for parents with this method is the fact that the parent also needs to make a commitment to the class, and this can be difficult for some parents.
Children also seem to like the group classes in this method and it gives them more self esteem in their playing. When they see that other children have the same practice problems and successes then it makes them feel better.
All in all, choosing between traditional violin lessons and Suzuki lessons needs to be both a parent and a child's decision and should be based on which method is the most fun, and the most successful.
