The Suzuki Method is best described both as an ear training approach and a language based approach to learning music. I have been a Suzuki piano instructor since 1976 and currently travel to students' homes in the greater Syracuse and Rochester areas several days per week. While specializing in beginners of all ages from 4 to adult, my philosophy is that music should be fun, but that does not eliminate the need for discipline and practice.
Over the past several years, I have had the opportunity to work with special needs students, particularly in the autistic spectrum. I have been blessed with parents who have helped teach me how to teach their children and feel comfortable offering my services to others with special needs.
