Improvisation can be lots of fun! But, for some it is a little intimidating because they don't know what to play. As in all things, repetition and lots of listening will increase the comfort zone for each student. Remember, with improvisation there is no right or wrong---but we do realize that sometimes we play something we like and sometimes we don't like it. Give it a try---and enjoy!

If we use our energy towards making music, perhaps we can unite people through the commonality of beautiful music and overcome our differences. 

We wish to nurture our students to become noble hearted human beings who can be our future leaders with sensitivity, discipline and endurance.  We want our students to be creative individuals who share a love of learning and a love of music. But most of all, we desire our students to be sensitive individuals. In this difficult world situation, we must all develop empathy towards one another as many struggle emotionally, financially and spiritually. We aspire that our students can be nurturing individuals and create a positive environment for others in the spirit of Dr.Suzuki's educational philosophy. 

Dr. Suzuki said, "Perhaps it is music that can save the world." In order to bring attention to injustice and inequity, each action we take can make a difference. Perhaps we cannot save the world, but maybe we can change it a little through our actions, through our music, and through our voices.

The Suzuki community is where we all believe that talent is nurtured. Hard work and successful repetition lead to skills that become easy and then effortless. This is perceived as talent, but in truth it is learned skill. Your ability will also grow with time and patience. Yes, every child can―but also every adult can, too!
