EDUCATION

Institute/Montreal Suzuki Institute (ISM)
Having begun my training at the age of 3 within the Suzuki Method, I have trained as a Suzuki teacher in the USA and Canada. The Suzuki Method was founded by Dr Shinichi Suzuki, and follows the Mother Tongue Approach (children learn to play the violin by listening to recordings and imitating their parent, the same way they learn to speak). The method requires extensive, specific and continuing training for the teachers, and offers a very effective, nurturing and supportive system of music education.
