Parent Education: Motivate & Mentor Seminar
A child's musical education through SMPLA is founded on the "Suzuki Triangle" - musical participation involving the Child, Parent, and Teacher. While the teacher works with the child once a week in a private lesson, the parent works with the child on a daily basis, helping the child master what was taught by the teacher. Therefore, parental involvement is central and crucial to a Suzuki student's musical training. A parent does not need to be a trained musician in order to become an effective "home teacher."

The Mother-Tongue Method
The Suzuki Method™, also known as the "mother tongue" method, is based on the belief that, just as almost all children can learn to speak, all children can learn music, and can develop their talent to a high degree, depending upon their environment.
Children growing up in a musical environment, with loving parental guidance and skilled teachers, can become fine musicians and, of equal importance, can become fine human beings. Indeed, the Suzuki Method™ seeks to develop "the whole child" through the study of a musical instrument. We believe that music enhances a child's brain development, motor skills, self-confidence, and personal character.
