The Suzuki Method

The Suzuki Method, developed by Japanese violinist Shinichi Suzuki, is based on the "mother-tongue approach". It operates on the core philosophy that every child can learn to play a musical instrument naturally, just as they learn to speak their native language.

    "The children are learning very well and enjoy the classes (both group and individual class). Teachers are able to inspire them to appreciate the music and encourage them to keep trying and practicing. There is a very good vibe between teachers and students there."

    "My children have enjoyed and learned so much from their experiences at this school over several years. They developed an appreciation for music that is borne from the creativity, history, and individual expression that the teachers stress from the earliest levels (pre-instrument) and through the curriculum. The teachers are musicians and educators of the highest caliber. Most importantly, they truly care about and nurture students with the utmost professionalism and attention to whole-person pedagogy."

    “Both my children started their musical journey with HKSMI. They both started the program in Step 1. And took our family on a musical journey with them. I love the Suzuki method and how it encourages wholistic development of the child and not just their musical ability. Their ears are trained and their violin skills are enhanced. But what we have come to appreciate over the years is the sense of community, the sensitivity of the teachers who go out of their way to make each childs musical experience unique and worthwhile. We learn life lessons on perseverence, hard work along with all the fun and joy that music brings. I cannot recommend a good Suzuki program enough, and I must say we are very lucky to be in the hands of such wonderful teachers who have siginificantly contributed to our childrens personality and growth as humans.”

    "A wonderful community of music loving teachers, parents and children. My 8-year-old son has been learning the violin at Hong Kong Suzuki Music Institute since 4 and finds a lot of inspiration from his teachers and friends. He practises hard and dreams of become a violinist in the future. 😀 "
