Kataoka went to study with Suzuki after many years of piano study, and soon realized that traditional approaches to piano teaching were wasting the innate ability of younger students. She hopes that through this little book she can bring to light the unnecessary \"suffering\" encountered by students and teachers who are using the time-worn read\/learn\/memorize method of piano study. Some topics covered include: a charming explanation of Shinichi Suzuki's philosophies, the Method itself, how to play, crucial points for beginners (listening, tone, parental assistance), and a thorough overview of Volumes 1 and 2 of the Suzuki Piano School. Her personal touches, triumphs, failures and enlightenment make very interesting reading. All teachers of Suzuki Piano will enjoy and benefit from reading this booklet. Even more important, however, is the fact that non-Suzuki piano teachers should read this, and utilize some of Mrs. Kataoka's thoughts in their teaching. Suzuki parents should also be asked to read this book to assist them in their vital role in the musical education of their children. This book is full of good advice, knowledge and fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem No:\u003c\/b\u003e    00-0297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e    Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e    48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e    About Suzuki Series (Piano Reference)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYear Published:\u003c\/b\u003e    1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"ALFRED","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67731156828351,"sku":"ALF 0297 29156606805","price":7.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1335\/9063\/files\/00-0297_c14b449e-d2e6-4268-9ac8-738729078131.jpg?v=1792727416"},{"product_id":"alf-00-0582","title":"Focus on Suzuki® Piano - Creative and Effective Ideas for Teachers and Parents","description":"\u003cb\u003eFocus on Suzuki® Piano - Creative and Effective Ideas for Teachers and Parents (Book)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBy Mary Craig Powell\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA book that is a must for all Suzuki piano students and teachers.
