"Where love is deep, much can be accomplished"
Dr Shinichi Suzuki
Development of the Suzuki child’s ability depends on the commitment and actions of the parent or primary carer.
During lessons, the teacher provides instruction points for the child, which the parent notes and reiterates for the child at home. The teacher also instructs the parent in how to create the most conducive learning environment.
At Nurture Music studio, parents are responsible for:
-
Providing frequent listening to the repertoire recordings
Acquisition of ability relies on the child listening to the music they are learning. Right from the time the commitment is made for the child to learn music in the Suzuki way, the CD recording of the first book should be played repeatedly every day in the home environment where the child can hear it. It should be played at a low volume, which allows the daily activities of the family to continue. The more the students hear the recordings, the more easily and beautifully they learn to play.
-
Attending lessons
Parents attend each lesson with the student, silently observing what is taught and taking notes. The teacher will frequently give direct advice to the parent for home practice.
-
Facilitating daily practice
With the full attention of the parent, and following instructions given in the lessons, the child should practice every day.
-
Creating a conducive practice environment
Parents create an environment of affection, support, encouragement, understanding and love in which the learning process can occur.
-
Instrument care
The parents will gain a basic understanding of the instrument and how to take care of it. They, in turn, guide the children in the care and respect of the instrument.
-
Participating in events
It is a vital part of the Suzuki learning process that parents attend workshops, concerts, group lessons, parent talks, graduations and summer schools with the child. These events provide variety, fun and motivation for all.
-
Suzuki membership
Membership of the Suzuki Association (NSW) is essential for all Suzuki families.
-
Agreeing to the studio policy
Information will be provided to parents regarding the specific expectations of the studio, including a policy on fees, attendance, absence, lesson etiquette and codes of behaviour. Parents are asked to sign a copy of the studio policy in recognition of their agreement.

Nurture by Name, Nurture in Nature
Genevieve has been a guiding light throughout our musical journey this past year. She has been instrumental (pardon the pun) in building Kalai’s confidence and has been a constant source of encouragement and support, never once failing in her positive approach and gentle teaching style. We love our weekly lessons and can’t recommend Genevieve enough!
A Beautiful Way to Learn
My daughter loves her lesson each week. Genevieve is a calm, encouraging and supportive teacher always looking for the best way to teach each student, and making each lesson fun. I am finding the Suzuki method a beautiful way to learn. Becoming immersed in a piece of music brings such joy. I highly recommend Genevieve.
Naturally Happy and Calm
Genevieve has a naturally happy and calm demeanour that children are drawn to. Always supportive and encouraging, her attention to detail and thorough preparation for each lesson builds consistent improvement in students. Genevieve’s passion for music and young people is always evident and we thoroughly recommend her.
I Enjoy My Lessons
I enjoy my lessons with Genevieve. She keeps things interesting and is very encouraging when I have difficult passages to work on.
