If I had the opportunity to teach music to an absolute music newbie, someone without any previous musical instruction or experience, I know exactly how I would begin. I would start without printed music. That's hardly revolutionary. The German composer Carl Orff is known today not only for his most famous work, Carmina Burana, but for the innovative methods he brought to musical education. Émile Jaques-Dalcroze created Eurhythmics, not the 1980's pop band with Annie Lennox, but a system for teaching music through movement. Music schools throughout the world have been teaching young children with the method developed by Shinichi Suzuki which begins by emphasizing learning by ear rather than by printed music.  All of these educators believed, as I do, that music is within us and that by learning without the printed page, we can create connections that allow us to develop our natural instinct for how music is organized, in notes and rhythms and chords and more. Our musical notation system is really just a code that we use to transmit and share musical ideas between composer and performer. The actual music doesn't live there. Please understand; I'm not suggesting that we should all learn exclusively by ear. My meaning is that when we become so accustomed to using the page as our only path into the music, when we sublimate our instinctive musical understanding to deciphering the dots on the staff, we make playing harder. In short, we ignore the very innate connection that brought us to music and to the harp in the first place.  Today we are going to explore some very fundamental rhythm concepts through this lens, focusing on the experience first, then the notation, rather than the other way around. I promise I won't ask you to try playing by ear or to memorize everything or to light candles and repeat affirmations. What I want to do is to give you some very simple ways to change how you think about rhythm. We'll do a couple of small experiments that I designed to help relieve any confusion or uncertainty you have about basic rhythmic concepts. Even if you feel totally confident about your skill in deciphering and playing complex rhythms, these little drills will help you reconnect to what is truly important about the rhythmic element of our playing.  Links to things I think you might be interested in that were mentioned in the podcast episode:  Get more rhythmic confidence with our April Seminar, “Rhythm Makeover.” Join now!

Comparing Rabbath, Simandl, and Suzuki Methods for Double BassWhen learning the double bass, choosing the right method can shape a musician's technique, interpretation, and overall approach to the instrument. Three of the most influential double bass pedagogical methods—François Rabbath, Franz Simandl, and Shinichi Suzuki—offer distinct philosophies, each with its strengths and limitations.Simandl Method: The Traditional FoundationFranz Simandl's New Method for the Double Bass (published in 1874) remains a cornerstone of classical double bass pedagogy. Rooted in the Viennese school of playing, it emphasizes strict positional playing, a systematic approach to shifting, and progressive technical development.Strengths:Structured Learning: Simandl's method divides the fingerboard into positions, with most of the left-hand technique built around half position and first position, progressively expanding.Orchestral Application: It prepares bassists well for classical and orchestral playing, focusing on intonation and bow control.Comprehensive Exercises: Etudes and exercises provide a solid technical foundation for developing consistent tone and precision.Limitations:Shifting Complexity: The heavy reliance on shifting (as opposed to pivoting or extended techniques) can make rapid passages feel cumbersome.Rigid Approach: Some bassists find Simandl's method too mechanical, limiting expression and modern techniques.The Simandl method is ideal for students who want a solid classical foundation, particularly those aiming for orchestral careers.Rabbath Method: A Revolutionary ApproachFrançois Rabbath, a Syrian-born French bassist, developed a modern approach to double bass playing, challenging many traditional techniques. His method, documented in Nouvelle Technique de la Contrebasse, promotes fluidity, efficiency, and musicality.Strengths:Fewer Positions, More Freedom: Instead of the rigid positional system of Simandl, Rabbath divides the fingerboard into six broad positions, relying on pivoting and natural hand shapes for smoother transitions.Expressive Playing: Encourages musical phrasing and a natural approach to technique, making it highly suitable for soloists and contemporary bassists.Ergonomic Efficiency: Advocates for economy of motion, reducing unnecessary tension and allowing faster, more agile playing.Thumb Position Mastery: Introduces thumb position early, which helps players navigate the upper register with ease.Limitations:Difficult to Adapt for Traditionalists: Bassists trained in Simandl may find Rabbath's method disorienting at first.Soloist-Oriented: While beneficial for expressive playing, some orchestral musicians feel it lacks the same rigor in foundational orchestral technique as Simandl.Rabbath's method is ideal for bassists seeking a freer, more modern approach, especially those interested in solo repertoire, jazz, and contemporary music.Suzuki Method: An Aural Approach for Early LearnersShinichi Suzuki's method, originally developed for violinists, has been adapted for double bass and emphasizes learning by ear, early musicality, and group learning. The Suzuki method introduces bassists to music through listening, imitation, and repetition, fostering strong fundamental technique from a young age.Strengths:Early Start: Suitable for very young learners, using simplified repertoire to build intonation, rhythm, and bowing technique.Emphasis on Ear Training: Develops intonation and phrasing naturally through listening and repetition.Group Learning: Encourages ensemble playing, making it highly engaging for young musicians.Limitations:Limited Repertoire for Advanced Players: While great for beginners, Suzuki's method lacks the depth of Simandl or Rabbath for professional-level development.Less Emphasis on Reading Music Initially: Since it focuses on aural learning, students might develop reading skills later compared to traditional methods.Suzuki is an excellent method for young beginners, offering a nurturing and ear-focused introduction to the double bass.Which Method is Best?The “best” method depends on the player's goals:For Orchestral Players: Simandl provides the most structured foundation.For Soloists and Contemporary Bassists: Rabbath offers fluidity and expressiveness.For Young Beginners: Suzuki nurtures musicality and ear training in an engaging way.Many modern bassists incorporate elements from all three—using Simandl for traditional technique, Rabbath for agility and expression, and Suzuki's principles for early training and musical development.No matter which method you choose, the key to mastering the double bass lies in dedicated practice, strong fundamentals, and musical expression.

Join us in this thought-provoking episode as we delve into the relationship between patience and expectation. Inspired by Shinichi Suzuki's quote, "Patience is the absence of expectation," we explore the impact of expectations on our lives and the role they play in our experiences of impatience, disappointment, and frustration.Through personal anecdotes and introspection, we discuss the challenges of navigating a world filled with expectations, both self-imposed and societal. We acknowledge the necessity of expectations for personal growth and societal functioning but also recognize the importance of finding a balance and not being too hard on ourselves or others.Drawing parallels to various aspects of life, such as music, cooking, and personal evolution, we reflect on the need for experimentation and the ability to adapt our expectations as we go through different stages and experiences. We also touch upon the power of forgiveness towards ourselves and others, allowing us to move forward and embrace acceptance.With a touch of grace and self-compassion, we explore the idea of setting more realistic expectations for ourselves and those around us, aiming for a healthier perspective that fosters patience and a more fulfilling journey through life.Tune in to this enlightening episode as we strive to understand the complex interplay between patience and expectation, and discover how a mindful approach to both can lead to greater peace and contentment in our lives.And to deepen your thoughts on this topic check out the following links https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinichi_Suzukihttps://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/jun/27/regret-can-seriously-damage-your-mental-health-heres-how-to-leave-it-behindhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB3iDvFWtZgTo find out more about investing in multifamily real estate schedule a call at https://www.oncallinvestments.com/Are you a healthcare provider exploring options outside of your traditional career path?

Since I remember myself, I wanted to be a mother and a teacher. These two topics are very close to my heart – motherhood and education. I was asked a question : “ How can we help our children today?”. To raise children in today's world is a mammoth task. Maybe more than ever. Shinichi Suzuki's words: “ Where love is deep, much can be achieved” echoes in our heart, but we need to add to love more things.   What is the essence of education? We will continue to explore these questions in future episodes. In this episode we'll talk about listening. In Suzuki Talent Education, listening comes before practice. It's the core of learning a mother tongue. The question of how to establish listening habit has been asked through many years of teaching. Working in a team of parents  - teachers is necessary.   If you like the podcast, please subscribe to it, share it with your friends, leave comments and rating in Apple podcast (or wherever you get your podcast) and /or ⁠⁠join our list ⁠⁠to get notified when a new episode is on air.

If you've seen a 3-year old wielding a quarter-size violin and sawing at its strings to play Mozart, chances are you witnessed a student of the Suzuki Method. Created by Japanese educator, Shinichi Suzuki, the Suzuki Method is how many young American children learn to play classical music on the violin, cello and piano, among other instruments. But the Suzuki Method isn't just about teaching children to master Bach or a vehicle for Tiger Parents to cultivate exceptional children. Rather, it's an approach to education that believes talent is a muscle to be developed and that all children should be measured against their own abilities. We'll talk about Suzuki and why he believed that little children could do great things. Guests: Eri Hotta, author, Suzuki: The Man and His Dream to Teach The Children of the World Cathy Lee, Suzuki Method educator, Lee studied directly with Shinichi Suzuki, and has taught violin for over 40 years. She has also trained dozens of teachers in the Suzuki Method.

"Every child has an unlimited potential", Dr Shinichi Suzuki So, how do we motivate children to do their work - practice their instrument, do their homework, help in the house etc. Do we need to motivate them? Anything we learn needs encouragement and acknowledgement, in order to make us want to repeat it. When we want our children to have the desire to do learn, play and practice, we have to reflect on our role in it. Love and desire are necessary to acquire ability. The thirst to learn is innate in every child. We don't need to create it, but we need to make sure we don't harm it. How can we allow it to grow and continue to develop? Self motivation might be the key here. Self motivation comes with self discipline. When children become self motivated it transfer to other areas in their life. It becomes a part of their character. " Man is a son of his environment", Shinichi Suzuki. If art and music are in the environment , children will naturally absorb the love for it. When a parent asks, "how can I help my child love doing this", the answer will be, " love it yourself". The way you approach the practice will be the way your child approaches the practice. Like what you want your child to like. Invest the love, and trust that it will be in the heart of your child. One of my favourite quotes: “A seed is planted in the earth. We don't see when the germination begins.That is the doing of Mother Nature. We have to wait patiently.We cannot dig up the seed to see wheatear it is really growing; to do so would be to destroy everything. Suddenly a bud appears. What a joy and pleasure to watch it grow! At the same time the root, unseen in the ground, is getting stronger and has the power to produce a big, sturdy tree”. (Shinichi Suzuki, Nurtured by Love) Love and nurture the seed with curiosity and wait to marvel in the flower or tree. Don't judge day by day. keep the big picture in your heart. Believe in your child. * * * If you like this podcast, please subscribe to it, share it with your friends, leave comments and rating in Apple podcast (or wherever you get your podcast) and help us reach to wherever it's needed.

Chenoa Murphy was born and raised in Memphis, TN. At the age of two, Chenoa attended her first classical music concert given by the Japanese violin students of Dr. Shinichi Suzuki. This sparked her interest in music and she was enrolled in the Suzuki Violin Method a year later. Demonstrating her love and enthusiasm for music, Chenoa continued to develop her natural ability and trained gift in violin and vocal studies throughout her childhood and teenage years. She attended the Overton High School of Performing Arts, summer music camps such as Aspen Music Festival, Interlochen Summer Arts Camp, Sewanee Music Center, and the Governor's School of Performing Arts and the Colour of Music Festival. She has achieved both Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees in Violin Performance from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music as well as 4 years of Doctoral studies at the University of Iowa. Her principal teachers during these earlier and formal years of study were Yuko Honda, Pak-Chung Cheng, Katherine Wolfe, Kurt Sassmannshaus, Dorothy Delay, and Dr. Won-Bin Yim. Besides being a former violin and viola private teacher, Chenoa is also a highly sought-after educator, guest lecturer and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion facilitator for various music organizations and college campuses. Her online courses: Introduction to Black Classical Composers and Musicians and Black Classical Musicians: The Journey Onward highlight the contributions and achievements of classical music composers of African descent. Her article “Black Representation in Classical Music Matters” was featured in the Summer 2020 edition of the American Suzuki Journal. Currently, Chenoa Murphy resides in Springfield, IL where she is a member of the Illinois Symphony Orchestra and is a mother of two beautiful children, Victoria, and Jonathan. Chenoa is married to the love of her life, Victor who resides in Glasgow, Scotland. Chenoa has been interviewed by CNN, NPR Illinois, and Huffington Post.

Ultimately, whether standing on a stage at Lincoln Center, or in a classroom in front of the next generation of world class musicians, Noa shares insights about effective practice, the building blocks of confidence and so much more to inspire us on our journey as lifelong learners. Who is Noa? Performance psychologist Noa Kageyama is on the faculty of The Juilliard School and is a performance coach for the New World Symphony in Miami, FL. A conservatory-trained violinist with degrees from Oberlin and Juilliard before pursuing a Ph.D. in psychology at Indiana University, Noa now specializes in working with performing artists, teaching them how to utilize sport psychology principles and more consistently perform up to their full abilities under pressure. He has conducted workshops at institutions ranging from Northwestern University, New England Conservatory, Peabody, Eastman, Curtis, McGill University, and the U.S. Armed Forces School of Music, to programs such as the Starling-Delay Symposium, The Perlman Music Program, and the National Orchestral Institute, and for organizations like the Music Teachers' National Association and the National Association of Teachers of Singing.

Today is the birthday of Shinichi Suzuki (1898). He taught children to play violin by listening and imitating, the way they learn to speak. A method that now bears his name, Suzuki Violin Method.

I recently had the true pleasure of chatting with my former teacher: violinist and pedagogue extraordinaire Brian Lewis!  He is an exceptionally dedicated and passionate performer who is committed to growing the legacies of his own two incredible teachers, the great Dorothy DeLay and Dr. Shinichi Suzuki. In our conversation we touched on... How Brian's artistic path has unfolded, from his own childhood studies to today's pedagogical pursuits (3:13) Teaching the language of music (11:50) Practicing concentration, and the importance of shifting your focus to refocusing for optimizing your practice (13:00) The legacy of Dorothy DeLay: how she empowered her students (including Brian) through positivity, removing judgement from her instruction, encouraging questions, and presenting the possibilities of playing to help young musicians sort out their own paths (15:01) Leading teaching with love, and the lasting, negative impacts of “abusive teaching” (25:13) Practicing habits (formed by DeLay and Suzuki) that helped set his playing apart, focusing on simplicity, the importance of listening, and repeating your own study of a score (30:01) Brian's advice for collegiate musicians to use your time in conservatory to prepare for a life as a professional musician (35:09) The lineage of musicianship and importance of flexibility (42:15) Brian's answers to a series of rapid-fire questions, including consistent practicing, his most memorable performances, favorite practice room tools, and book recommendation! (44:10)   MORE ON BRIAN LEWIS: One of the most versatile violinists on the current scene, Brian Lewis is an exceptionally gifted and charismatic artist. "There are a lot of fine violinists on the concert stage today, but few can match Lewis for an honest virtuosity that supremely serves the music,” reports the Topeka Capital-Journal. Much sought after as a performer and teacher, Mr. Lewis concertizes and teaches around the globe, and is dedicated to growing the legacy of Shin'ichi Suzuki and Dorothy DeLay. Acclaimed performances include concerto debuts in both New York's Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall, as well as performances with the Orchestra of St. Luke's, the Berlin (Germany), Louisiana, Kansas City, Hartford, Syracuse, Odense (Denmark), Lima (Peru), Boulder, Guadalajara (Mexico), Sinfonia Toronto (Canada), ROCO and American Symphony orchestras, among many others.   He has released six CDs, including as soloist with the London Symphony Orchestra of music by Leonard Bernstein and Hollywood composer Michael McLean for the Delos Label. Mr. Lewis began his violin studies at the age of four, participating in the Ottawa Suzuki Strings program, and traveling to Japan twice to study with Dr. Suzuki. He received his Bachelor and Master degrees from The Juilliard School, studying with the renowned pedagogue, Dorothy DeLay. Mr. Lewis holds the David and Mary Winton Green Chair in String Performance and Pedagogy at The University of Texas at Austin. In addition, he is Artistic Director of the Starling-DeLay Symposium on Violin Studies at The Juilliard School in New York City, Artistic Director and Faculty and the Brian Lewis Young Artists Program held most recently in Fairbanks, AK. He has also recently held positions as the Class of '57 Visiting Professor of Music at Yale University and Visiting Professor at the Cleveland Institute of Music.

“I've been reflecting on your lecture which I appreciated so much. Thank you. Especially the part about how families /society have changed. It was a relief for me as a young teacher to hear that what happens now is not all about me being a “bad “ teacher. So, I wanted to share with you this story of a family. There's a mother in my studio who's doing such a fantastic job with her two children. She drives them to lessons, does her best to practice with them while she's also working full time as a lawyer. I don't know how she manages... The truth is that they rarely practice, being either too tired or the kids don't want to do it. The mother thinks that everything is up to what the child feels like doing, so they rarely listen to her and only to their immediate feelings. It's difficult for her to set boundaries and say ‘NO'. It's always chaos when they enter and lots of frustration Also, the father is not really involved. Today I got a message saying that the young child doesn't want to come to group lessons ( he's nearly 5 and has only started recently). I wanted to ask you what you think. I think the youngest feels the mother's stress and wants unconsciously to protect her through not wanting to play, seeing the stress it brings her. I also think he sees that his father is not involved.How can I say this to a mother who desperately wants to give her children the gift of playing an instrument? I don't want to lose this family but I think the only way is to get the father on track. What do you think? I'd be deeply grateful for any idea or though. Thank you again for being a continuous inspiration.” This has been the question asked by a teacher. It could have been asked by any teacher of any subject, about any parent. This is a question often asked . In my reply I touched a few highlights. Hope you find it beneficial. For Donation click the PayPal link http://bit.ly/PayPal-Souloist . Thank you.

We want our children to become self motivated. We wish for them to have the will and desire to acquire ability, talent and knowledge; things we need in order to grow, survive and thrive. How can we pass on to them the ability to motivate themselves. The answer is tied with self discipline and Joy. Regardless of culture, no child will enjoy the learning process if being forced. Child might DO what they are forced to do but they won't enjoy it. We want our child to LOVE music -listening and playing . We help our children develop character through music. If parents want their child to love something, they have to check their attitude to it. Keep the big picture in your heart. Believe in the ability of your child. Every child has an unlimited potential. Come to the practice with open heart. As long as you hold the vision and acknowledge the EFFORT your child does – you will create motivation in your child, that will become their self discipline to develop and grow with joy.

Today we are doing something new. instead of a solo (or 'soulo')  conversation, where I have my conversations with you, we are having a conversation with a guest and with you. As the Souloist podcast is conversations about music, soul, education, life and many things in between, my guests will come from all these walks of life, and I hope that there will be something juicy and inspiring for everyone who listens to the podcast. My first guest today is Koen Rens. Koen was amongst the first Suzuki students in Belgium, Europe studying violin. In Koen's words: “I usually introduce myself as a Suzuki child, who turned out a Suzuki teacher. I love music, I love learning and I love people. Being a Suzuki Teacher allows me to combine those” Koen studied In Brussels and Liege. He is on the faculty of the Antwerp Conservatoire, where he teaches a Postgraduate in Suzuki violin Pedagogy. Koen has been invited to teach and perform in most continents around the worlds. Dr Suzuki's philosophy of life is a continuous inspiration for him and he's Grateful for the opportunities life brings him. In my eyes Koen embodies the love, wisdom, playfulness, modesty and nobility that great teachers possess. I've met Koen in one of the International (or National) conventions, where we've both been invited to teach. We started talking and immediately we became fully engaged in hearted - soulful discussion about music, education and the future of the world. Recently Koen has joined us in a CIRCLE of Elders that I did online. Here again, he inspired us with his views of life and the world. It gives me a great pleasure to invite Koen to “play” with me in this podcast.  And I invite you to join us in this conversation about the connection, gratitude, gravity, love, laugh, music and life.

By now we've established : 1. pleasant practice (episode 23). 2. Turning up (episode 25) and 3. Practice content (episode 27). This week we talk about time - this rare commodity in today's world. We want to help our children develop the skill of playing the instrument. "The development of ability cannot be accomplished by mere thinking or theorising, but must be accompanied by action and practice ." (Shinichi Suzuki). Time is connected to routine. Practice routine is the skeleton of practice. As "Student's ability grows at home" (Suzuki), you don't want to wait for the lesson to improve your child's ability. This episode talks about WHEN to practice and HOW LONG to practice. And finally in Suzuki words: " If one child practices 15 minutes a day, and another child practices three hours a day, it takes the second child THREE MONTHS to accomplish what the first accomplishes is NINE YEARS! Most people would say: The second child was more talented that the first. This of course is not true; he/she has simply practiced more." ++++++ IF YOU LIKE THIS PODCAST and WANT TO HELP, please lick the PayPal link http://bit.ly/PayPal-Souloist.

What if you like doing many things and you find it difficult to "manage your time" between them? Do you need to make a priority list? Reflecting on the topic: If life is a canvas, I could be the artist. If life is blank page with music clefs , I could be the composer. If the score has already been written, I could be the pianist. If life is a clay, I could be the potter. If my pottery is broken I could glue them together, like in the art of Kentsugi, or throw it away... What is your 'Life List' and your 'soul list'? So, let's talk about soul. Let's define what soul is. I'm discussing with two of my soul friends, Barbara and Veta, on the way they see, feel or define 'SOUL'. I see soul as the essence that was there before I was born and will continue to be after I die. Every one is born with a gift, a spark, a gem that is unique to us. Discovering the gift is the process of creating relationships with your soul. -------------------------------------------------- Quotes from : Dr Shinichi Suzuki, Buckmister Fuller and Parker J.

Two themes appear in this episode. One is a myth about a "witch" and the other a reflection about Corona times. They are bound by a name - the crown. "One day, when I was a child, stories began to circulate about a witch that lived in an old, dilapidated hut." At the beginning of this episode I'm sharing the myth, the realness, the essence, the fear and the role they played in our collective early age consciousness. The Crone, the Wise Old Woman, The Hag, The Witch became distorted as history and patriarchal society took hold. Today marks one year since the first case of Corona has appeared in Australia Do you remember what you thought about it then? Do you remember what you felt? Do you remember the plans you had when you realised it might stay for a while? And now, after a year, do you have the courage to look at this list and see if you've done any of them? We could look at the mystery behind the plans that's hiding in the mud of creation. Looking at this time as time of germination. "A seed is planted in the earth. We don't see when the germination begins. That is the doing of Mother Nature; . . . We have to wait patiently. We cannot dig up the seed to see whether it is really growing; to do so, would be to destroy everything. Suddenly a bud appears. What a joy and pleasure to watch it grow! At the same time the root, unseen in the ground, is getting stronger and has the power to produce a big, sturdy tree." Dr Shinichi Suzuki, Nurtured by Love, p. 45 *. *. *.

One of the greatest ways to practice "tricky" bits is to stop JUST BEFORE them. When you learn /practice a piece , Instead of playing the whole piece s l o w l y , analyse (with the help of your teacher, if needed) where the "tricky" bits are. (it's usually the place where you usually get stuck or make mistakes). Draw a dotted line in the score. When you play stop ( or freeze) where the line is, prepare in your head and go. Soon you'll realise that the stop doesn't happen any more. Congratulate yourself. You've mastered this place. *. *. *.

Parents and teachers often ask about the process of moving from childhood to adolescence in learning a musical instrument. The Suzuki program follows and accompanies the child from early childhood, through adolescence.It's only natural that we need to change gears as we go along. At the beginning stages we encourage children, motivate them, create their appetite – for music and learning and dedicate our efforts to keep the desire alive. When they grow up, you hope that everything you nurtured them to do, is there. Your child pushes you away when they want to be independent. Even if you feel hurt or rejected you know that's an important step in their upbringing. In being a Suzuki Parent, you've created a deep and close bond with your child. Now the time has come to enjoy the fruits: Everything your child learnt in at the piano or other instrument is reflected in life in general. The success of the learning process is a precursor to the success in other areas in your child's life. The things your children have achieved in learning to play would naturally and automatically be implemented in their lives. Concentration, perseverance, self-discipline, sense of commitment, Sensitivity (to beauty, arts, people), stamina, ability to perform and knowing how to achieve level of mastery. When the parent steps back, the responsibilities do not disappear; they just change hands. Independence needs to be earned by the child. Sometimes it doesn't go smoothly. Becoming independent needs to include: 1. I can do the work by myself. 2. I'm WILLING to do the work by myself. In this episode we go through the points that these processes require, and what happens in a parallel process underneath it. All which leads to a great lesson in life!!! If children are not ready yet to understand it, they need to be guided and helped to develop the character for this. In Dr Shinichi Suzuki words: “Character first – Ability second.” *. *. *. *.

"We need to feel like we are on the right track, especially when we step into unfamiliar territories." I use the word "praise" here as: an expression of appreciation; a way to commend, to congratulate and honour; as acknowledgement and recognition; as a tool for encouragement and support; to inspire confidence and foster growth. So... why do we praise? Is praise always positive? Is there a harmful praise? *. *. *. *. I'm looking to grow the podcast to reach more listeners and I'd much prefer to not use advertising.

VJC Q&T podcast host Russell Schmidt has shared a journey in music education with violist Nancy Buck since they first met in 1995 at Bowling Green State University’s new faculty orientation. And for more than two decades, Nancy and Russ have maintained a joyous partnership on and off the concert stage. Nancy is a nationally-renown artist/teacher who presently serves as an Associate Professor of Viola at Arizona State University. She is also the Artistic Director and Co-Founder of the Arizona Violacademy. Nancy recently stopped by the MSW-Tempe studio to share questions and tangents with Russ. In this, the second of two podcasts together, they discussed why playing with others must be an “ears-over-eyes” experience, what it means to contribute texture to music, and even how varieties of chocolate might relate to a performing artist’s concept of sound.Learn more about Nancy Buck here:https://music.asu.edu/profile/nancy-buckLearn more about the Arizona Violacademy, for which she serves as Artistic Director and Co-Founder, here:https://astaaz.org/event/violacademy/Learn more about some of the people, institutions, and other topics mentioned in the podcast here:Johannes Brahms – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_BrahmsElizabeth Buck – https://music.asu.edu/profile/elizabeth-buckSteven Cornelius – https://www.umb.edu/academics/cla/faculty/steven_corneliusVincenzo Sannino – https://tarisio.com/cozio-archive/cozio-carteggio/vincenzo-sannino/Shinichi Suzuki – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinichi_Suzuki_(violinist)Georg Philipp Telemann – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Philipp_TelemannRayburn Wright – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayburn_WrightBowling Green State University College of Musical Arts – https://www.bgsu.edu/musical-arts.htmlOberlin Conservatory of Music – https://www.oberlin.edu/conservatoryPennsylvania Governor’s School for the Arts –https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Governor%27s_School_for_the_ArtsUniversity of California, Berkeley – https://www.berkeley.edu/Afro-Caribbean Music – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Caribbean_musicChamber Music – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamber_musicDance - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DanceDark Chocolate – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_chocolateKinesthetic (or Physical) Intelligence – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_intelligenceMilk Chocolate – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_chocolate#Milk_chocolateMona Lisa – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_LisaPlasma – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_(physics)Suzuki Method – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_methodViola Repertoire – https://imslp.org/wiki/List_of_Compositions_Featuring_the_ViolaWhite Chocolate – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_chocolate Thanks for listening! PLEASE SUBSCRIBE & RATE THIS EPISODE!Website: https://www.valleyjazz.org/Social Media (Facebook): https://www.facebook.com/ValleyJazzCooperative/About The Host: Pianist/composer/educator Russell Schmidt has performed with such celebrated artists as Carl Allen, Michael Brecker, Eddie Daniels, John Hollenbeck, Joe Lovano, Gerry Mulligan, Lucas Pino, Arturo Sandoval, and Clark Terry.

She has also been honored with multiple teaching awards, including ones from the Union City Symphony and the Korean Radio Broadcast Network. In addition to being on the faculty of the Pre-College Division of the Manhattan School of Music, she has a large private studio in the New York City metropolitan area where she teaches violin performance to aspiring players from ages 3 to 23. Her students have won national and international competitions and have performed in such great halls as Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, and the White House. They are routinely accepted, with scholarships, to the world's premier music conservatories including The Manhattan School of Music, New England Conservatory, the Juilliard School, Peabody Conservatory, Rice University, the Royal College of Music, and The Cleveland Institute.  Her students routinely perform with orchestras around the NYC area.  The NY Times described Ms. Faidley as “…fiercely yet compassionately committed to her students, to her colleagues, and to the art of music.” Ms. Faidley became adjunct faculty at the Hartt School before the age of 30, reflecting her devotion to the art of violin pedagogy. She has also served on the college conservatory faculties of Montclair State University's Cali School of Music and Hunter College's School of Music.  She holds a Master of Music degree in violin performance and pedagogy from the Peabody Conservatory of Music and was inducted into the professional music fraternity, Pi Kappa Lambda, which honors integrity, superior music performance, and academic success. Ms. Faidley routinely brings in major concert artists and teachers to give private masterclasses to her studio .  The last four years have included Ray Chen, Stefan Jackiw, Charlie Siem, Dmitri Berlinsky, Ronald Copes, Lisa Batiashvili, Sarah Chang, and Katie Lansdale. She won the prestigious Melissa Tiller Memorial Prize for graduate performance and while still a student at Peabody, joined the faculty of both the preparatory and conservatory divisions after serving as a teaching assistant to Shirley Givens. Besides Givens, her major pedagogical influences include Ivan Galamian, Joseph Gingold, Paul Rolland, and Shinichi Suzuki, and Rebecca Henry.  She also studied with such masters as Daniel Heifetz, Yuri Masurkevich, Christian Teal, and Qing Li. Ms. Faidley has served on the faculty of the Summit Music Festival, New York's premier summer chamber music institute. She has been invited to teach and give master classes in Italy, Germany, Spain, Russia, Norway, and Africa, and has provided private lessons in pedagogy to major violin performers and teachers throughout the United States.  In the summers, Ms. Faidley has specialized camps for her students. Ms. Faidley is a frequent presenter and master class clinician, and she has recently spoken at two national conferences for the American String Teachers' Association. The first lecture focused on balance in violin technique and pedagogy. The second presented a series of unique technical etudes for every stage of violin playing.  Ms. Faidley has been invited to be the keynote speaker, along with Nobel Laureates at the 2018 World Education Day in Jinan, China. Ms. Faidley currently employs fourteen violin and musicianship faculty members as part of her school, The Elizabeth Faidley Studio.  All students of any faculty member have access to recitals, masterclasses, private camps, and other performance opportunities.  Ms. Faidley works directly with each teacher in weekly consultations to ensure a balanced musical education for each student. Ms. Faidley also shares her passion for teaching through her writing. She has completed work on the second edition of a book for children titled “Pre-Twinkling to the Stars: Your Joyful Journey Begins” which focuses on a strong technical foundation for beginning violinists. Her second book, a beginning theory workbook for beginning and intermediate violinists, is also available. She has also published several essays in the American Suzuki Journal and is currently writing a third book on the art of pedagogy entitled, “What Happened to the Nurture?”  The book reflects her teaching philosophy, which seeks to empower the entire, unique person as the foundation of the musician. She generously makes time to mentor her students through auditions, competitions, and performances and stays in touch with them between and beyond studio lessons. Ms. Faidley's violin, a generous gift from several patrons, was crafted by Lorenzo Ventapane in 1835 and is pictured in Four Centuries of Violin Making by Cozio Publishing.   If you enjoyed the show, please leave a review on iTunes!  I truly appreciate your support!

At the age of 17, Shinichi Suzuki innocently hit the keys of a typewriter in an office at his father's violin factory.  The owner of the typewriter entered the room and asked if he was pressing the keys without paper.  Suzuki quickly denied his actions, saying he was just looking at the typewriter.   At that moment, he knew he had lied.  Wracked by his conscience, Suzuki sought relief at a local book store where he found The Diaries of Leo Tolstoy.  Later Suzuki wrote: “Tolstoy said that one should not deceive oneself and that the voice of conscience is the voice of God. I determined to live according to these ideas.” This podcast is all about the life of this amazing man.  See how Shinichi Suzuki lived The 7 Laws of Life Mission and, ultimately inspired people around the globe to become not just proficient violinists, but noble human beings!

Wherever I went I took it with me. Several years later when, at twenty-three, I went to Germany to study, the book went with me in my pocket. Tolstoy said that one should not deceive oneself and that the voice of conscience is the voice of God. I determined to live according to these ideas.”~Shinichi Suzuki “[The words ‘first character, and then ability] were inscribed on a tablet that hung in the lecture hall. This principle has been a light to my path all my life and is written on my heart.”~Shinichi Suzuki “One trait that I continue to find in these great men and women is their ability to make and keep commitments to themselves.  They're just amazing at their consistency in finding truth and then subitting to it and committing to it.”~Audrey Rindlisbacher “'Sensei, will my boy amount to something?' a mother asked. 'No,' [Suzuki replied]. 'He will not become something. He will become a noble person through his violin playing. Isn't that good enough? You should stop wanting your child to become a professional, a good money earner. This thought is concealed in your question and is offensive. A person with a fine and pure heart will find happiness. The only concern for parents should be to bring up their children as noble human beings. That is sufficient. If this is not their greatest hope, in the end the child may take a road contrary to their expectations. Your son plays the violin very well. We must try to make him splendid in mind and heart also.'”~Shinichi Suzuki “Close to thirty years have passed and all my former student friends today are fine adults, which fills me with deep, profound joy.”~Shinichi Suzuki “People say that I am trying to do the impossible, and expending my energies for nothing. But I know that what I conceive is possible, and I believe that one day the human race will create the kind of world in which everyone will realize that children have the potential. That is why at the United Nations, after Casals had spoken on world peace, I appealed to the representatives of the nations of the world to do something. What I am trying to do now is to apply my Talent Education to all areas of life. I am trying to get sympathetic primary-school principals to try out methods of education that will ensure that not even one student fails in sc...

We are dipping back to a series of recordings - interviews made a number of years ago with people who studied with Shinichi Suzuki in Japan in decades past. In their voices, hear their curiosity and admiration as they remember their experiences. Also, you can hear the inspiration, wisdom, and gratitude that they’ve kept with them since they left. We’ve heard similar stories from Winifred Crock, Helen Higa, and Mark Bjork about their time studying in Matsumoto with Shinichi Suzuki. So while we are working on the full episodes for Season Two, we will occasionally release these Matsumoto Memoires: simple storytelling, straight from the people who were there... Lightly edited for clarity, without narration. Our story starts in the 70’s, in Ohio where Sarah Hersh was studying music. She loved playing violin, was curious about teaching, and happened to have a lucky locker assignment. Welcome to this Matsumoto Memoir from Sarah Hersh.

Our story starts in the 60’s, in Minnesota, when Mark Bjork was heading to an intriguing concert. He was going to see a tour group of very young Japanese children playing complex concertos brought to North America by Shinichi Suzuki. Welcome to this Matsumoto Memoir from Mark Bjork.

Today, we are looking at just one environment created by one teacher, and finding themes that can be applied to good teaching everywhere such as generosity, powerful observation, and warmth. Recently I was introduced to a series of recordings - interviews made a number of years ago with people who studied with Shinichi Suzuki in Japan in decades past. I feel like I’ve had a little trip to Asia in the 1970’s.
