Shinichi Suzuki, violinist, educator and Japanese philosopher, developed the Suzuki method In the 50s, with the assurance that all children in the right environment can learn to play an instrument that they learn to speak the mother tongue, some of his words were "Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to train good citizens, noble human beings. If a child hears good music from the day of his birth, and learns to play it himself, develops his sensitivity, and discipline and patience. Acquires a beautiful heart. "
This method has been extended internationally, but today we talk about news that comes to us from Tokyo, where about 3,000 musicians trained with this method offered a concert with classical pieces Bach, Brahms, Paganini and a children's classic, "Shine, shine star" that was a joy for those who could attend. Among the musicians were children as young as three and although they had never met to rehearse, the performance was impeccable. Some of the instruments that the little ones used, such as cellos, had to be specially manufactured to fit their size. The performance was all the rage, children playing very complex pieces, unfinished and with an impressive skill.
It would be great to see them, surely their parents will never forget them.
