While many of our teachers at Mosaic blend a Western and Suzuki style approach to teaching, we all believe in the core philosophy of Shinichi Suzuki. He was a violinist and teacher who carried his lifelong interest and sympathy for children into post-World War II Japan. Encouraged by their ability to assimilate their native tongue, he saw a great opportunity to enrich children’s lives through music. His primary goal was not to teach young people only how to play musical instruments. Rather, he champions the unique contribution music can make in the total learning process. Fundamentally, it is an approach that allows everyone to succeed.
