Starting Young
A child learning music with the Suzuki method has to start as young as possible. Even two-year-
old children can learn to play difficult pieces of classical music, often on the violin. They do this
by watching and listening. They learn by copying, just like they learn their mother tongue. The
child has to join in, but doesn’t have to get in right. ‘They soon learn that they mustn’t stop every
time they make a mistake. They just carry on,’ said one Suzuki trainer. The children have to
practise for hours every day and they give performances once a week, so they learn quickly. ‘The
parents must be involved too,’ said the trainer, ‘or it just doesn’t work.’
7. How old is a child when he can learn a piece of classical music?
two years old…………
8. How much time does he need to practise per day?
Four hours per day………………
