A Must Read for All Music Educators

Christine Goodner is one of the top minds in the Suzuki world. Not only does this book remind us of the beauty and strength of the Suzuki method, it also gives us practical ways to improve the experience for all members in the Suzuki Triangle.

Beautiful book

I am a Suzuki Voice teacher and find this book to be amazing and easy to adapt for any instrument. Great advice to parents and teachers in a manner that everyone will understand, even me who has english as her second language.
Is a most!

Fantastic!

This is fantastic! Thank you, Christine, for writing this and for making it available on Audible!! As a Suzuki parent and teacher, I highly recommend it!

Solid advice, well organized

Strong content. Practical advice. Engaging examples. But narrator used a sing-song tone when reading, maybe trying to be upbeat? It would have been more enjoyable is she read / spoke more naturally.

Must Read for all Suzuki Parents and Teachers!

This gave me fresh ideas that will help me support my students and their families. I will definitely return to this book again and again to bring my focus back to the big picture both as a teacher, and Suzuki parent.
