The first classical organ method for children, the Suzuki Organ School
is based on Dr. Shinichi Suzuki's Mother Tongue Method. The Suzuki
Method(R) of Talent Education is based on Suzuki's view that every child
is born with ability, and that people are the product of their
environment. According to Suzuki, a world-renowned violinist and
teacher, the greatest joy an adult can know comes from developing a
child's potential so he/she can express all that is harmonious and best
in human beings. Each series of books for a particular instrument in the
Suzuki Method is considered a Suzuki music school, such as the Suzuki
Organ School. The student listens to the recordings and work with their
Suzuki organ teacher to develop their potential as a musician and as a
person.
This Suzuki Book & CD is essential for Suzuki organ lessons. In certain
pieces, the authors have placed small phonetic signs above the notes to
indicate differentiated non legato playing. In order to develop pedal
technique, pedal melodies are included between every manual piece. The
included performance CD for Volume 3 is a great tool for Suzuki organ
lessons, encouraging practice while featuring recordings by Lars
Hagström.
