Here are links to the resources for beginning parents, which I mentioned in the episode:

Episode 1 Teach Suzuki Podcast: What is the Suzuki Method and how does it work? How can a parent be a better practice partner at home in between lessons?

Episode 2: 6 Basic Philosophy Points of the Suzuki Method: These 6 philosophy points are the foundation to success on the Suzuki journey. It matters that parents know and believe these six philosophical points!

Episode 3: Are You Listening? This episode explores the scientific research behind the Suzuki Method’s requirement to listen to the repertoire being studied and learned, including experiments that suggest that the amount and kind of music we listen to will have an impact on our moods, attitudes, and physical states. The episode also discusses ways to add more listening to your day.
