why suzuki..???/?

Question

why does everyone who plays violin seem to begin with suzuki??? i started with it also- but i quickly realized that it was a bad base to support my playing! the book makes everything that you learn later, [advanced pieces] seem harder. suzuki just gives you fingerings and bowings, which you just follow- you can never learn! can someone explain to me why suzuki is so great??? t

im not bashing on it, im just giving true facts

Answer 1

I've been playing with it the whole time that I've been playing on the violin and I can read hard pieces easily, but why do you care so much? so quit bashin' on it please because it really isn't as bad as you say.

Plus things that I've learned from the Suzuki method I have used on hard, non-Suzuki pieces like, fingerings and bowings.

And you do learn how to read music not just "two line mock-ups" that's just like 6-7 songs in the first book all the rest of the books have real pieces that are famous and are hard.

Sorry if I sound like I'm attacking you I'm just defending what I know.

Answer 2

I used "Learning unlimited for the Violin".
I taught with other books. But suzuki, was pushed in college to use that book for especially young children to start, because they could mimic the teacher or parent and do advanced works at an earlier age. I didn't like the book , myself.Because of the book being popular, the other books are now harder to get. I use to order other violin teaching methods from sharmusic.com. But today, I found online the Suzuki method, but the other methods i used to use are not listed.You can still get other methods on eBay and at used book stores.

Answer 4

I've always understood the Suzuki method to be primarily for very young children. It's based on how they learn. I wouldn't think it would be particularly effective or beneficial to an older person who already has developed multiple ways of learning.

Answer 5

Of course you learn. But it's not going to do it for you - you're supposed to learn how to read music, preferably first. It's a great way to start because you start playing real music quickly - unlike the other method books, where four books in you're still playing two-line mock-ups of folk songs you've never heard.
