Letter from President Nicole Macias
Welcome to the Suzuki Association of Utah
I’d like you to invite you to take a minute and register for the 2022 Suzuki Association of Utah Parent & Teacher Convention on Saturday, January 29, 2022.
Our presenters include Jane Reed who is an expert in helping children learn better and more efficiently, by adjusting how we as parents and teachers interact with them. We are also excited to have Nicholeen Peck who wrote “Parenting a House Divided” and developed a lot of the ideas of teaching self-government within our homes.
It will be a fantastic reset for us as parents and teachers from our busy holiday season. I’m hoping you’ll join me, and if you do, feel free to come say “hi” and introduce yourself. I’m looking forward to meeting you.
Sincerely,
Nicole Macias
Creator of the Mother-Tongue Method
Dr. Shinichi Suzuki
The essence of Suzuki’s approach to learning a musical instrument is derived from the way a child learns language, which he called "Mother Tongue." From recordings the child becomes familiar with the Suzuki and other repertoire so that when lessons begin about age three his mind already knows the musical language he will slowly begin to play on an instrument and even later learn to read. As with spoken language mothers play an important role in the teaching process and so are given instruction on the instrument and also taught how to be patient and encouraging. New skills and concepts are taught in small steps a child can consciously master, and lessons last only as long as the child’s attention span.
