SUZUKI MUSIC METHOD

Effects of the Suzuki Music Method on children K-12 verses Children not schooled in the Suzuki music method K-12.

Abstract

In this study we try to explore two main learning methods in music education. These are the ever popular Suzuki Method, and the traditional local community K-12 school system. I want to explore the positive learning influence on students as in hypothesis; I believe that the Suzuki Method is superior. I will investigate the methods used in both and quantify the results based on statistics, documented primary sources, and online article databases. In addition, providing research to justify the myth that traditional music theory is lacking in the Suzuki Method. I will also address the psychological, emotional, and educational influence on K-12 students. With this given research, I plan to prove that my hypothesis is correct in presuming that the Suzuki Method is a more positive influence versus the local school system. There is also an aspect that I wish to define. That is of the impact of the students learning environment utilizing both of these learning methods. It will be important for me to provide research on how local music lessons on the economy effect students taking formal music education in K-12 school. As many Suzuki methods are prevalent outside the K-12 environment. In summary, I will provide the information that will help aid parents and students to make wise choices in their music education options.

This will be the subject of my discussion: the traditional method is better prepares a child for making music, as cognitive and physical activity, and also prepares the child to participate fully in music and life.
