The first classical organ method for children, the Suzuki Organ School is based on Dr. Shinichi Suzuki's Mother Tongue Method. In order to develop pedal technique, pedal melodies are included between every manual piece. Non legato pieces contain small phonetic signs above the notes to indicate differentiated non legato playing. The CD, available separately, contains model performances of the repertoire contained in Volume 4. Organ Piece, Rondeau, and A Short Story are Federation Festivals 2016-2020 selections.

About Suzuki Method

The Suzuki Method is based on the principle that all children possess ability and that this ability can be developed and enhanced through a nurturing environment. All children learn to speak their own language with relative ease and if the same natural learning process is applied in teaching other skills, these can be acquired as successfully. Suzuki referred to the process as the Mother Tongue Method and to the whole system of pedagogy as Talent Education. The important elements of the Suzuki approach to instrumental teaching include the following:an early start (aged 3-4 is normal in most countries); the importance of listening to music; learning to play before learning to read; -the involvement of the parent; a nurturing and positive learning environment; a high standard of teaching by trained teachers; the importance of producing a good sound in a balanced and natural way; core repertoire, used by Suzuki students across the world; social interaction with other children. Suzuki students from all over the world can communicate through the language of music.
