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.

Suzuki lessons are generally given in a private studio setting with additional group 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.

Small size doesn't have to mean small sound. CR2-X Cube desktop speakers with powerful BMR driver technology deliver unbelievably clear, room-filling sound from a compact footprint. Tired of small speakers that sound... small? Us too. We decided it was time to change that starting with CR2-X Cube. These beauties utilize innovative BMR driver technology that makes crystal clear sound and ultra-wide, room-filling sound possible. Gamers that want full immersion with a level of detail that reveals every shot, footstep, and distant explosion, look no further. How about music? CR2-X Cube delivers incredible spatial accuracy and imaging which means vocals will truly sound in front of you, guitars will have depth and dimension, and everything else will claim a distinct spot in the listening area. The BMR (Balanced Mode Radiators) drivers make it possible to deliver unbelievably clear, immersive sound from a stealthy, compact enclosure. This innovative, flat disc design eliminates the need for a separate high frequency driver and crossover while also removes any boxy megaphone effects common with traditional speaker cones. Despite their small size, you will experience room-filling dispersion, lifelike stereo imaging, and rich full-range sound normally reserved for much larger speakers. Along the base of the main speaker is an integrated touch bar that allows easy and elegant control over volume. And just to the right, a convenient source button allows you to quickly switch between Bluetooth, Analog, and USB.

Snow Suite is the soundtrack to childhood’s winter adventures. Tasting snowflakes, watching a snowstorm through the living room window, or falling in the soft snow is always exciting and sparks the imagination. Each movement of this suite paints a scene. In Snowflakes, the pizzicato notes depict flakes landing on a nose or finger long enough to be marveled at before melting away. Snowstorm’s perpetual motion feel, with dramatic changes in dynamics, draws the listener into imagining wild winter winds. Finally, after the storm, children and adults alike fall into the powdery snow creating charming and delightful Snow Angels.Performance NotesMost students are adept at pizzicato by the grade 1 orchestra level, and this piece provides the opportunity to review pizzicato technique for good tone. Recommended pizzicato technique includes the thick part of the fingertip over the fingerboard, producing tone with depth and allowing the resonance to create a rich orchestra sound. The detaché bowing is truly detached in Snowstorm with contrasting legato bow strokes in Snow Angels.For schools that encourage writing across the curriculum, teachers may encourage students to write a short imaginative story about the snow themes in this music. STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts, and Mathematics) lessons may include snowflake crystal structures and snowstorm weather patterns.
