Its been music to the ears, as young musicians from around New Zealand have enjoyed quality tuition this week at the annual NZSI Suzuki autumn workshop
This is the final day of the three-day workshop, in which 85 students from around New Zealand have been able to learn from national, and international Suzuki tutors.
Hawke's Bay Suzuki publicity officer Susy Allen said the students, aged between 4 to 16-years-old, had been enjoying the "fun way of learning" offered by the workshop.
The Suzuki method - created by Dr Shinichi Suzuki - teaches instrumental music in a non-traditional way.
Its principles include repetition, learning to play music by ear before reading it, and starting students at an early age - Dr Suzuki recommended development begin at birth, with format training starting at age 3.
