Questionnaire for Suzuki Parents

Here is a Questionnaire that was handed out at Group last Friday - A great thing to take to start your new School Year right!


Do you see that your child listens regularly to the recordings?

Do you take good notes during lessons so that you can be a good home teacher?

Do you shout, scream, or make sarcastic remarks?

Are you positive about home practice, or does your attitude suggest it as a chore?

Do you plan practice as a daily havit, even if only a minimum can be done?

Do you arrange home concerts for family and/or friends?

Are your child's practice sessions too often just play/along times with the tape?

What is the ratio of praise to criticism in your comments to your child?

Do you show enthusiasm consistently?

Does your child always listen in advance to pieces he is about to study?

Do you practice after lessons, or discuss the lesson in the car afterwards?

Do you observe other lessons?

Do you take your child to concerts?

In practice periods, do you ask for too much at one time?

Are both parents involved in this phase of the child's development?


I hope that these thoughts will help you to motivate and inspire, and stay committed to helping your child become a person with a sensitive heart and a dedication to learning.
