Teach flute with the popular Suzuki Flute School! The Suzuki Method of Talent Education is based on Shinichi Suzuki's view that every child is born with ability, and that people are the product of their environment. According to Shinichi Suzuki, a world-renowned violinist and teacher, the greatest joy an adult can know comes from developing a child's potential so he/she can express all that is harmonious and best in human beings. Students are taught using the mother-tongue approach. Each series of books for a particular instrument in the Suzuki Method is considered a Suzuki music school, such as the Suzuki Flute School. Suzuki lessons are generally given in a private studio setting with additional group lessons. The student listens to the recordings and work with their Suzuki flute teacher to develop their potential as a musician and as a person. This accompaniment book aids in Suzuki flute lessons.

About Suzuki Method

The Suzuki Method is based on the principle that all children possess ability and that this ability can be developed and enhanced through a nurturing environment. All children learn to speak their own language with relative ease and if the same natural learning process is applied in teaching other skills, these can be acquired as successfully. Suzuki referred to the process as the Mother Tongue Method and to the whole system of pedagogy as Talent Education. The important elements of the Suzuki approach to instrumental teaching include the following:an early start (aged 3-4 is normal in most countries); the importance of listening to music; learning to play before learning to read; -the involvement of the parent; a nurturing and positive learning environment; a high standard of teaching by trained teachers; the importance of producing a good sound in a balanced and natural way; core repertoire, used by Suzuki students across the world; social interaction with other children. Suzuki students from all over the world can communicate through the language of music.

Craig Phillips is becoming increasingly known as one of our most gifted composers for the Church. This new anthem uses excerpts from The Prayers of Kierkegaard as its inspiration. The use of mixed meter and the lovely writing for the flute give the piece its pastoral impressionistic spirit. Anintroduction for flute and organ creates the atmosphere of comfort and peace. Each phrase or group of phrases is set off by an interlude for flute and organ increasing in harmonic interest and intensity. The choral parts are written with great flair and imagination and stay within mostly moderate ranges. This would be a most gratifying work for choirs of advanced abilities.
