In commemoration of hundreds of thousands of Black Americans who were finally released from slavery in Galveston, Texas two years <em>after </em>President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, Juneteenth is celebrated on June 19th. Its purpose is to recognize that we must all still work towards the respect of all people and fight the racism that still exists today. While Juneteenth is a joyous holiday, we are also reminded that freedom comes with the responsibility to continue the activism that enables our freedom of speech and freedom as individuals to continue. </p></div> 2769 2770</div> 2771 2772<a class="blog-more-link" href="/blog/mconsjfk2ha0e4yip9ov3m8lua4gl7" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> 2773 2774 2775 </div> 2776 </article> 2777 2778 <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> 2779 2780 <div> 2781 <a href="/blog/8hhvm2fdrg0jhrvybyljvdeiz9ii1b" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> 2782 2783<img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753805761751-ZLJ79UYT3YJXE8MT6OC2/IMG_6842.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753805761751-ZLJ79UYT3YJXE8MT6OC2/IMG_6842.jpg" data-image-dimensions="1290x700" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="Suzuki School of Newton is a Community Table (6/13/2025)" data-load="false" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753805761751-ZLJ79UYT3YJXE8MT6OC2/IMG_6842.jpg" width="1290" height="700" alt="" sizes="(max-width:767px)276.4285714285714vw,138.2142857142857vw" class="image" style="display:block;position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; object-position: 50% 50%;" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753805761751-ZLJ79UYT3YJXE8MT6OC2/IMG_6842.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753805761751-ZLJ79UYT3YJXE8MT6OC2/IMG_6842.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753805761751-ZLJ79UYT3YJXE8MT6OC2/IMG_6842.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753805761751-ZLJ79UYT3YJXE8MT6OC2/IMG_6842.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753805761751-ZLJ79UYT3YJXE8MT6OC2/IMG_6842.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753805761751-ZLJ79UYT3YJXE8MT6OC2/IMG_6842.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753805761751-ZLJ79UYT3YJXE8MT6OC2/IMG_6842.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> 2784</a> 2785 2786 </div> 2787 <div class="blog-article-spacer"></div> 2788 2789 <div class="blog-basic-grid--text"> 2790 <div class="blog-meta-section"> 2791 <span class="blog-meta-primary"> 2792 2793 2794 <span class="blog-author">Sachiko Isihara</span> 2795 2796 <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">7/29/25</time> 2797 </span> 2798 <span class="blog-meta-delimiter"></span> 2799 2800 <span class="blog-meta-secondary"> 2801 2802

Our Whole Notes students received their diplomas wearing their graduation caps and processing to "Pomp and Circumstance" performed by Ms. Lisa and Ms. Yuting. All the teachers worked well together in bringing a year's work to fruition in this moment.

As a music major, it became standard practice to bring pieces to one's lessons already memorized even when playing the piece for my teacher the first time.</p></div> 3024 3025</div> 3026 3027<a class="blog-more-link" href="/blog/i6jo17tnwxm9qouvb4unxzxt109scg" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> 3028 3029 3030 </div> 3031 </article> 3032 3033 <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> 3034 3035 <div> 3036 <a href="/blog/memorizing-is-a-skill-part-1-of-2-592025" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> 3037 3038<img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753730909723-35CHOBNMAV77V513B55S/37.jpeg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753730909723-35CHOBNMAV77V513B55S/37.jpeg" data-image-dimensions="3024x4032" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="Memorizing is a Skill - Part 1 of 2 (5/9/2025)" data-load="false" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753730909723-35CHOBNMAV77V513B55S/37.jpeg" width="3024" height="4032" alt="" sizes="(max-width:767px)112.5vw,56.25vw" class="image" style="display:block;position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; object-position: 50% 50%;" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753730909723-35CHOBNMAV77V513B55S/37.jpeg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753730909723-35CHOBNMAV77V513B55S/37.jpeg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753730909723-35CHOBNMAV77V513B55S/37.jpeg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753730909723-35CHOBNMAV77V513B55S/37.jpeg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753730909723-35CHOBNMAV77V513B55S/37.jpeg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753730909723-35CHOBNMAV77V513B55S/37.jpeg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753730909723-35CHOBNMAV77V513B55S/37.jpeg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> 3039</a> 3040 3041 </div> 3042 <div class="blog-article-spacer"></div> 3043 3044 <div class="blog-basic-grid--text"> 3045 <div class="blog-meta-section"> 3046 <span class="blog-meta-primary"> 3047 3048 3049 <span class="blog-author">Sachiko Isihara</span> 3050 3051 <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">7/28/25</time> 3052 </span> 3053 <span class="blog-meta-delimiter"></span> 3054 3055 <span class="blog-meta-secondary"> 3056 3057 3058 <span class="blog-author">Sachiko Isihara</span> 3059 3060 <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">7/28/25</time> 3061 </span> 3062 3063 3064 3065</div> 3066<h1 class="blog-title"> 3067 3068 <a href="/blog/memorizing-is-a-skill-part-1-of-2-592025" data-no-animation> 3069 3070 Memorizing is a Skill - Part 1 of 2 (5/9/2025) 3071 </a> 3072</h1> 3073<div class="blog-excerpt"> 3074 <div class="blog-excerpt-wrapper"><p style="white-space:pre-wrap;" data-rte-preserve-empty="true">Here at Suzuki School of Newton, we teach students the many steps in how to memorize a piece. That is, the step-by-step working through small previews of difficult or new technique with many repetitions already is setting the ground work towards memorization. I often suggest to my students that by the end of the week, all the previews should be memorized. If there are practice spots that require 10 repetitions daily, then add an 11th and 12th repetition to try to do that spot by heart. Usually these spots are played slower, so that the student can think through the technique that is being learned. Gradually we speed the preview or practice spot. When doing so, make sure that it can be played by heart while also securing the newly trained technique. In this way, the passage becomes natureal and fully assimilated by heart. </p><p style="white-space:pre-wrap;" data-rte-preserve-empty="true"> </p><p style="white-space:pre-wrap;" data-rte-preserve-empty="true">Breaking down a long piece by analyzing it by key centers and sections allows for us to understand the structure of the piece as a series of smaller pieces. In order to play a long piece, one must understand and memorize each small section and be able to restart at each of these places. This is the technique we learn in book 1 as we learn a folk song phrase by phrase by ear. The difference for the advanced student is that the initial step requires the student (with the help of the teacher) to find the smaller sections and work on each one of them until it is thoroughly learned by heart and from memory.</p></div> 3075 3076</div> 3077 3078<a class="blog-more-link" href="/blog/memorizing-is-a-skill-part

Our Suzuki approach is based upon the "mother tongue" approach. As all children can learn the language spoken by their parents and caregivers, Suzuki teachers bring the language of Western European classical music to children around the globe. Music is powerful and can be a language that communicates human emotions without words. Likewise, we can learn the music of other cultures and also learn to express ourselves through these other styles. For this reason, we are presenting our Multicultural Arts Festival on Saturday, May 17th from 2 pm to 6 pm. From the music of Folk Baroque to Latino Salsa music, we present each year music of different cultures. Our collaboration in early April with Community Music Center of Boston and Project STEP yielded a workshop on improvisation by Michael Block and a performance at the concert of Black Violin in Lexington. These were powerful experiences that brought students from 3 different programs together to experience music of various origins. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;" data-rte-preserve-empty="true">Suzuki summer institutes are designed in the same way.

All of our Suzuki Piano students may sign up, but also we invite Suzuki piano students from anywhere to join us for masterclasses, group classes, and ensembles. Music with this common repertoire can bring people from other places together with our community.</p></div> 3126 3127</div> 3128 3129<a class="blog-more-link" href="/blog/mtjm057u8oucz7vqp4kmm95mgkhoyy" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> 3130 3131 3132 </div> 3133 </article> 3134 3135 <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> 3136 3137 <div> 3138 <a href="/blog/toh996pe7vt3zvvcn9hw4or0ziduu7" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> 3139 3140<img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753728495842-WHMVL6A2GW14JDN622WP/In-Harmony+Group+Photo+2023-2024.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753728495842-WHMVL6A2GW14JDN622WP/In-Harmony+Group+Photo+2023-2024.jpg" data-image-dimensions="4032x3024" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="Lifelong Learning (4/25/2025)" data-load="false" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753728495842-WHMVL6A2GW14JDN622WP/In-Harmony+Group+Photo+2023-2024.jpg" width="4032" height="3024" alt="" sizes="(max-width:767px)200vw,100vw" class="image" style="display:block;position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; object-position: 50% 50%;" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753728495842-WHMVL6A2GW14JDN622WP/In-Harmony+Group+Photo+2023-2024.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753728495842-WHMVL6A2GW14JDN622WP/In-Harmony+Group+Photo+2023-2024.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753728495842-WHMVL6A2GW14JDN622WP/In-Harmony+Group+Photo+2023-2024.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753728495842-WHMVL6A2GW14JDN622WP/In-Harmony+Group+Photo+2023-2024.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753728495842-WHMVL6A2GW14JDN622WP/In-Harmony+Group+Photo+2023-2024.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753728495842-WHMVL6A2GW14JDN622WP/In-Harmony+Group+Photo+2023-2024.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753728495842-WHMVL6A2GW14JDN622WP/In-Harmony+Group+Photo+2023-2024.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> 3141</a> 3142 3143 </div> 3144 <div class="blog-article-spacer"></div> 3145 3146 <div class="blog-basic-grid--text"> 3147 <div class="blog-meta-section"> 3148 <span class="blog-meta-primary"> 3149 3150 3151 <span class="blog-author">Sachiko Isihara</span> 3152 3153 <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">7/28/25</time> 3154 </span> 3155 <span class="blog-meta-delimiter"></span> 3156 3157 <span class="blog-meta-secondary"> 3158 3159 3160 <span class="blog-author">Sachiko Isihara</span> 3161 3162 <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">7/28/25</time> 3163 </span> 3164 3165 3166 3167</div> 3168<h1 class="blog-title"> 3169 3170 <a href="/blog/toh996pe7vt3zvvcn9hw4or0ziduu7" data-no-animation> 3171 3172 Lifelong Learning (4/25/2025) 3173 </a> 3174</h1> 3175<div class="blog-excerpt"> 3176 <div class="blog-excerpt-wrapper"><p style="white-space:pre-wrap;" data-rte-preserve-empty="true">It is very important to take time for oneself.

He also would say to the adult teachers, "knowledge plus 100,000 times would surely get you there!" This is because as adults, we have more habits that need to be changed.

To be internally motivated is what helps the individual grow as a person. Nonetheless, we are humans. Having the compensation or promised reward helps us to make a bigger effort to achieve the task or complete the project. The use of external rewards is not all bad. The important issue is how much reward is offered and when. </p><p style="white-space:pre-wrap;" data-rte-preserve-empty="true">When we celebrate receiving a raise in one's salary by going out to a restaurant, that is an external reward. However, it is also taking the moment to enjoy the accomplishment and allowing oneself to feel the positive emotion that came with the success. Taking that time is important in order to feel the intrinsic reward. On a busy lesson day when we juggle work, picking up children from school, attending a lesson and music class or math class, we can promise our student "if you have a good lesson today, we can go out to dinner." I would try to frame this in a different way, "Lesson day is so busy, let's go out to dinner after your lesson so we can eat and not have to rush home." Then at the restaurant you might share what might have been the successes of the day: at school, at sports, at math class or at the music lesson. If you remember a particularly successful moment in the lesson "that was great how you were getting your pinky to be really curved today!" it shows that you are noticing positive changes in the student's life. Taking advantage of a seemingly external reward (Lesson Day is Pizza Day!) can also allow for connection to the intrinsic rewards.</p><p style="white-space:pre-wrap;" data-rte-preserve-empty="true">When I was in Japan attending Dr Suzuki's Talent Education Institute, he would go around smiling to the teachers who were studying there giving out chocolates. He knew they were working hard and he was sharing his warm smile and a chocolate, an external reward. However, he was not asking different teachers if they did good work that day, nor singling out only those who did well. He also did not reward a single activity with an immediate reward. He was celebrating the whole person for the efforts that they were making.</p></div> 3279 3280</div> 3281 3282<a class="blog-more-link" href="/blog/zsm7fsvtri0lzplwag4dzuzbtor0kv" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> 3283 3284 3285 </div> 3286 </article> 3287 3288 <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> 3289 3290 <div> 3291 <a href="/blog/aqgchau01ndlecnhzi484th5ivjn2r" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> 3292 3293<img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753727826462-T9IPAOCY85VFBIBJ2UBL/F53512B1-357C-4439-89BB-2BD5C83BBAD6_4_5005_c.jpeg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1753727826462-T9IPAOCY85VFBIBJ2UBL/F53512B1-357C-4439-89BB-2BD5C83BBAD6_4_5005_c.jpeg" data-image-dimensions="640x360" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="Diversity in Classical Music: Our 2nd Annual Workshop!

Learning to play diverse music is a great start. Learning that improvising is the source of all composing is fundamental to any music "Classical", "Jazz", "Hip Hop" or "Greek." The famous composers of Western European Classical composers (Bach, Mozart, Beethoven,etc.) were often known for their brilliance at improvising in performances. Changing our openness to listening and learning about other music traditions can lead to connecting us with the people that represent these traditions.</p><p style="white-space:pre-wrap;" data-rte-preserve-empty="true">Perhaps the most important definition of <em>diversity </em>is to consider we are all people on the same planet. If we can learn to connect to each other through music, we learn to understand one another better. We may become more empathetic as we learn that we human beings must share this planet. Most of all, we want our students to learn that what we teach here at the Suzuki School of Newton are the fundamentals of playing an instrument well with proficiency or excellence. We want to reach the ability to express oneself through the music. Most of all, we want our students to know that their instrument does not depend upon just Mozart and Beethoven. Each student can use their instrument to express whatever music they may choose and find their own personal expression. The musical instrument can be an expression of their own voice.</p></div> 3330 3331</div> 3332 3333<a class="blog-more-link" href="/blog/aqgchau01ndlecnhzi484th5ivjn2r" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> 3334 3335 3336 </div> 3337 </article> 3338 3339 <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> 3340 3341 <div> 3342 <a href="/blog/yxty2vbgz1cq8bxllomo4apnn1eg7r" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> 3343 3344<img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743702077351-Z2JPUYW2Z8SNJROZ6SU3/IMG_6457.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743702077351-Z2JPUYW2Z8SNJROZ6SU3/IMG_6457.jpg" data-image-dimensions="1092x865" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="Do you have any free time?

While we may feel that the demands on our time are consumed by work, family obligations, outside pursuits, and other responsibilities, we are all faced with choices. While we may feel that preparing our income tax return is a burden, time consuming, and a headache, we can change our mindset. We can be happy that we can make the time to meet this obligation. We can also appreciate that we have income and so we must report it. People who do not earn enough, and people who work two jobs do not have as much time to do these tasks. Each individual can look at how they spend their time, and work on their mindset. It is possible for us to find an element of <em>gratitude </em>that will improve our mental health. If we can realize that our choice in how we spend our time is ours to make, we might better realize that our control of our time is really discretionary. When we spend time driving our children from activity to activity, we can realize the good fortune that we have time to do this for our children. We can also realize that our children have the good fortune to be involved in meaningful activities that make them happy. </p></div> 3381 3382</div> 3383 3384<a class="blog-more-link" href="/blog/yxty2vbgz1cq8bxllomo4apnn1eg7r" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> 3385 3386 3387 </div> 3388 </article> 3389 3390 <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> 3391 3392 <div> 3393 <a href="/blog/how-much-should-we-be-listening-to-the-recording-at-home-32125" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> 3394 3395<img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097647968-RUXBCU0TE2DEOGA0J8Y9/Three+violins+chamber+group.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097647968-RUXBCU0TE2DEOGA0J8Y9/Three+violins+chamber+group.jpg" data-image-dimensions="1024x683" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt=""How much should we be listening to the recording at home?" from Suzuki Violin Instructor, Bekka Eöwind (3/21/25)" data-load="false" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097647968-RUXBCU0TE2DEOGA0J8Y9/Three+violins+chamber+group.jpg" width="1024" height="683" alt="" sizes="(max-width:767px)224.89019033674964vw,112.44509516837482vw" class="image" style="display:block;position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; object-position: 50% 50%;" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097647968-RUXBCU0TE2DEOGA0J8Y9/Three+violins+chamber+group.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097647968-RUXBCU0TE2DEOGA0J8Y9/Three+violins+chamber+group.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097647968-RUXBCU0TE2DEOGA0J8Y9/Three+violins+chamber+group.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097647968-RUXBCU0TE2DEOGA0J8Y9/Three+violins+chamber+group.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097647968-RUXBCU0TE2DEOGA0J8Y9/Three+violins+chamber+group.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097647968-RUXBCU0TE2DEOGA0J8Y9/Three+violins+chamber+group.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097647968-RUXBCU0TE2DEOGA0J8Y9/Three+violins+chamber+group.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> 3396</a> 3397 3398 </div> 3399 <div class="blog-article-spacer"></div> 3400 3401 <div class="blog-basic-grid--text"> 3402 <div class="blog-meta-section"> 3403 <span class="blog-meta-primary"> 3404 3405

You may decide to set it and forget it, as my mother advised! Or you might be driven by a different sense of organization, and have a very specific plan about when you can remember to turn on the recording each day. At a minimum, spend two hours per day dedicated to repeating the Suzuki book level your child is currently working on. If you have several instruments or levels represented among the students of your family, two hours will accommodate two-to-four different albums, depending. If you have only one album to focus on, repeat that one, and throw in the next level or previous level for one play-through.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;" data-rte-preserve-empty="true">Remember to provide this listening background even for your older children. Even though they may have their own device, it is your emphasis on the material that shows your support for their advancing musical studies.

When we see joy on the faces of those we love and care for, it makes it all worth it. Sometimes, though, we do not always get those smiles and signs of appreciation. I would like to say that I know it is there. It may be hard sometimes for children or older people to remember to say "thank you." Children may not say, "Gee, thank you for reminding me to do my homework," or "thank you for making me practice that practice spot another 10 times." However, in the long term, as they reflect back, they will remember how much effort you put into their getting better in school, in sports, or playing a musical instrument. You are making a difference in their lives today, even if they do not get around to thanking you until much later.</p></div> 3483 3484</div> 3485 3486<a class="blog-more-link" href="/blog/h4a54uymbzgzigf17520j38otz62ug" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> 3487 3488 3489 </div> 3490 </article> 3491 3492 <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> 3493 3494 <div> 3495 <a href="/blog/53n6fv44coajeqfpyv3444uw7rwwo4" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> 3496 3497<img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097329178-WDOFTNLR28OQD667EPJQ/hands+on+piano.png" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097329178-WDOFTNLR28OQD667EPJQ/hands+on+piano.png" data-image-dimensions="544x463" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="The Presence of Color in Musical Tone: Synaesthesia (3/7/25)" data-load="false" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097329178-WDOFTNLR28OQD667EPJQ/hands+on+piano.png" width="544" height="463" alt="" sizes="(max-width:767px)176.24190064794817vw,88.12095032397409vw" class="image" style="display:block;position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; object-position: 50% 50%;" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097329178-WDOFTNLR28OQD667EPJQ/hands+on+piano.png?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097329178-WDOFTNLR28OQD667EPJQ/hands+on+piano.png?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097329178-WDOFTNLR28OQD667EPJQ/hands+on+piano.png?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097329178-WDOFTNLR28OQD667EPJQ/hands+on+piano.png?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097329178-WDOFTNLR28OQD667EPJQ/hands+on+piano.png?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097329178-WDOFTNLR28OQD667EPJQ/hands+on+piano.png?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1743097329178-WDOFTNLR28OQD667EPJQ/hands+on+piano.png?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> 3498</a> 3499 3500 </div> 3501 <div class="blog-article-spacer"></div> 3502 3503 <div class="blog-basic-grid--text"> 3504 <div class="blog-meta-section"> 3505 <span class="blog-meta-primary"> 3506 3507 3508 <span class="blog-author">Sachiko Isihara</span> 3509 3510 <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">3/27/25</time> 3511 </span> 3512 <span class="blog-meta-delimiter"></span> 3513 3514 <span class="blog-meta-secondary"> 3515 3516

I remember reading that for the musician, it is not so much a question of warming up <em>the body</em> as it is warming up <em>the ears</em>. I truly believe that Suzuki lessons should be an experience of elevating the level of hearing of a student. The best lessons I have had myself, have been when I feel like I am listening and hearing so much better and with more detail and awareness than before the lesson. This ability to hear oneself is extremely difficult and one that even the professional musician works hard to achieve.

3686For busy teenagers, I ask my students to evaluate their energy and concentration level at the time they are about to practice. Depending upon these and perhaps their general mood, they should choose where to start with their practice. On a particularly difficult day emotionally or filled with activities and projects, perhaps that is the day to focus on making beautiful sounds and beautiful music with their review pieces. On a day that they have particular energy and focus, practicing the new technique carefully, slowly and repeatedly will help solidify their understanding and lead to more automatism. On a normal day, a warm-up, their working piece, a review piece and some sight reading could easily follow the pattern of the lesson. The importance of understanding that each element of the lesson has a slightly different purpose allows for understanding that the practice session could have a slightly different emotional goal. Understanding this can lead to allowing the student to participate in the choices of the order of practicing, or the division of time spent on each portion. On a day that a student is ill, please listen to the recording! There is value to all elements of a practice session and allowing choices is the principal means that a child feels more autonomous and not forced.</p></div> 3687 3688</div> 3689 3690<a class="blog-more-link" href="/blog/7jz5esle4o01pz1v385cumv30kxobm" data-animation-role="content">Read More</a> 3691 3692 3693 </div> 3694 </article> 3695 3696 <article class="blog-basic-grid--container entry blog-item"> 3697 3698 <div> 3699 <a href="/blog/pxnd4hpgzcu0j5qidu1wqb3omofcw3" class="image-wrapper" data-animation-role="image"> 3700 3701<img data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1738956888876-MXR076OAK47MIR5J7K6O/IMG_6118.jpeg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1738956888876-MXR076OAK47MIR5J7K6O/IMG_6118.jpeg" data-image-dimensions="4032x3024" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="The Suzuki School is an Original" data-load="false" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1738956888876-MXR076OAK47MIR5J7K6O/IMG_6118.jpeg" width="4032" height="3024" alt="" sizes="(max-width:767px)200vw,100vw" class="image" style="display:block;position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; object-position: 50% 50%;" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1738956888876-MXR076OAK47MIR5J7K6O/IMG_6118.jpeg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1738956888876-MXR076OAK47MIR5J7K6O/IMG_6118.jpeg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1738956888876-MXR076OAK47MIR5J7K6O/IMG_6118.jpeg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1738956888876-MXR076OAK47MIR5J7K6O/IMG_6118.jpeg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1738956888876-MXR076OAK47MIR5J7K6O/IMG_6118.jpeg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1738956888876-MXR076OAK47MIR5J7K6O/IMG_6118.jpeg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec59420bf60052391613cbb/1738956888876-MXR076OAK47MIR5J7K6O/IMG_6118.jpeg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> 3702</a> 3703 3704 </div> 3705 <div class="blog-article-spacer"></div> 3706 3707 <div class="blog-basic-grid--text"> 3708 <div class="blog-meta-section"> 3709 <span class="blog-meta-primary"> 3710 3711 3712 <span class="blog-author">Sachiko Isihara</span> 3713 3714 <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">2/7/25</time> 3715 </span> 3716 <span class="blog-meta-delimiter"></span> 3717 3718 <span class="blog-meta-secondary"> 3719 3720 3721 <span class="blog-author">Sachiko Isihara</span> 3722 3723 <time class="blog-date" pubdate data-animation-role="date">2/7/25</time> 3724 </span> 3725 3726 3727 3728</div> 3729<h1 class="blog-title"> 3730 3731 <a href="/blog/pxnd4hpgzcu0j5qidu1wqb3omofcw3" data-no-animation> 3732
