Flori and Stacey both recognize the importance of parent involvement in creating the strongest learning environment available. Therefore they believe in parent education and devote time to developing a partnership with parents as well as the child.
Suzuki ECE teachers believe that the early environment helps form the spirit of the child and that the potential for creating a rich musical environment for the child is dependent upon parent involvement. Also, Suzuki ECE teachers are trained to foster ability development rather than using a “teach and move on” approach.
