Shinichi Suzuki (1898-1998) was a Japanese violinist and teacher and one of the most innovative an influential musical educators of the twentieth century. He believed that all children have great potential for talent, musical or otherwise.
After observing that all children were capable of learning their native language without formal lessons, Dr Suzuki developed a philosophy of musical instruction based on his belief that all children have great potential for talent, musical or otherwise, given the right experiences and environment.
Dr Suzuki saw that children, given the opportunity to learn and develop musical ability, develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. He devoted his life to making children throughout the world become happy people, fine human beings with beautiful hearts, through musical education in a nurturing environment.
Through his life’s work and concern for humanity Dr Suzuki developed a vision and methodology to provide children with a means to develop ability through music education. By studying children and their astonishing capacity to learn their mother-tongue language, Dr Suzuki’s method emulated these proven conditions for learning. His primary aim was to develop good character in children through music education and, by doing so, prepare them to make a positive influence in the world.

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.
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!
