Since opening its door's as S.A's first Suzuki Piano Studio in 2011, it has evolved and now also offers: Singing, violin, guitar, ukulele & drums. The Suzuki Method is an educational philosophy which strives to create “high ability” and beautiful character in its students through a nurturing environment.Die beginsels van die Suzuki Metode is geskoei op die manier hoe mens taal aanleer: studente begin op 'n vroee ouderdom (4jaar is ideaal), hul luister vir 'n lang tyd en gereeld na die repertoire wat hul gaan leer speel. Ouers is betrokke by die les en fasiliteer oefening by die huis. Met die betrokkenheid van 'n ouer (of versorger), deur eers sensories die 'taal te kan leer praat' op hul instrument (in die geval klavier) en met die hulp van groeplesse en werkswinkels, word die bladlees proses ook uiteindelik vergemaklik. Meeste studente kan reeds gemaklik met 2hande saam speel teen die tyd dat hul dan op die ouderdom van 6-8jaar begin leer musieklees. Dit beteken ook dat meeste studente nie alleen note kan lees nie, maar kan bladsing omdat die binne-oor so goed ontwikkel is teen hierdie tyd. The primary vehicle for achieving high ability (not only musically) and developing beautiful characters, is music ability development on a specific instrument - in this case: Piano!The ‘nurture’ involved in the method is modelled on a concept of early childhood education that focuses on factors which Shinichi Suzuki observed in the way that children learn to speak their mother-tongue: immersion, encouragement, small steps, and an unforced timetable for learning material based on each person’s developmental readiness to imitate examples, internalise principles, and contribute novel ideas.From Notting Hill, London to the Western Cape in South Africa- Sonnika Maritz Venter is a Suzuki Piano Teacher that has trained and taught in the UK from April 2006-October 2010 and has started the first Suzuki Piano Studio in South Africa early in 2011.
