0) £ +J lumberjack a student newspaper serving northern arizona university flagstaff, arizona 86011 volume 76 issue 16 Wednesday, june 26, 1985 KALVAR 3322 S 300 East Salt Lake City, UT 8 4 1 1 5 splin ters The ninth annual Suzuki Institute concluded Saturday in Ar-drey Auditorium with a recital of pianos, violins and cellos. I had seen the kids around campus for a few days — little kids carrying little violins, and most of them holding tightly to mommy’s hand. Before I heard the kids practice, I was prepared for anything. Well, almost anything, I wasn’t prepared for them to be good. The best I expected was a good grade school recital. At the worst, I could stick my fingers in my ears. By casually speaking to the kids and their parents, I realized two things. First, these kids are proud of what they can do. One little boy stood as tall as possible, stuck out his chest and said, “ I can play the piano.” And secondly, they are still normal children. By no means, are these child prodigies or geniuses. They are just children whose parents want them to learn to play an instrument, and appreciate music. The kids are grouped mostly by ability and then by age. Their ability is determined not by how well a piece is played, but rather how well it is known. Once a child has mastered a piece, he is advanced to the next piece. The pieces are learned by memory, not by reading music. Reading music comes when the kids are older and feel more comfortable with the instrument. Approximately 175 children were here for four days of intense instruction. A student must currently be studying with a Suzuki teacher in order to qualify for the Institute. The Suzuki method of teaching began in 1963 for violin, piano and cello. The method has begun to spread to other instruments. Photo by Dory Edwards Itzhak? Special 12 page insert A young violinist demonstrates skills that were heard around the campus last week.
