Book Reviews of To Learn with Love

Book Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars

The William and Constance Starr's book is written by two professional musicians, Suzuki teachers and Suzuki parents of 8. It is based on the extensive personal experience and close interaction with Shinichi Suzuki while living in Japan and by hosting him at their house in the US. The book's main themes are the practice of teaching children music using Suzuki method and topics relevant to raising children in general, each taking roughly a half of the book.

The narrative is both inspirational and practical, while the chapters are to the point: a statement is made and illustrated by a real life example. The book is certainly an invaluable companion for a Suzuki parent with advises ranging from choosing a teacher and supervision of practice to child's participation in orchestras. But it also should appeal to any parent who feels that raising children is one of his top priorities: nurturing a positive self-image with a "yes, I can" attitude, importance of tradition, woes of sibling rivalry and significance of correct diet are some of the issues that the book tackles.

I would recommend this book to any parent.

Summary of To Learn with Love

Practice, motivation, learning, nutrition, competition and family lifestyles are a few of the topics discussed by these experienced teachers, performers, and parents. Treasured as a handbook by many Suzuki parents!
