about the suzuki piano method

Talent Education

As a young man, Dr. Shinicki Suzuki was asked to give violin lessons to a four year old. The realization that all children can learn to speak their native language was epiphany: all children have a huge, inborn talent! He uncovered key elements of the learning process and applied them to violin instruction.

His success was so extraordinary that many teachers began to use his ideas in their own teaching. Presently the Suzuki method is taught worldwide and is applied to a variety of instruments.

Dr. Shinicki Suzuki 

‘Our son has been studying piano with Elan Sicroff for 7 years—and over that time has gone from an un-self-confident beginner into a musician who’s uncovered his own voice, technique, passion and reach, all thanks to Elan’s extraordinary knowledge, experience, musicality, high (but always fair) standards—and ability to inspire students of all ages. Elan is not only an amazing teacher, but truly a one of a kind mentor. ‘
