The musical journey you are taking with your child, while challenging, can be one of the most rewarding experiences in parenting.
The Suzuki Association of the Americas has published a number of helpful materials to help Suzuki parents on the journey. There are articles on how to practice more effectively with your child, get more out of the Suzuki experience, and have a happier relationship with your child. Below, we have linked to a number of our favorite SAA online articles to help you in this respect.
The majority of SAA articles are not online -- they are published in the wonderful quarterly Suzuki Journal. HASSA invites all Suzuki parents to become Associate Members of the SAA. Among other benefits, you will receive this invaluable publication.
The SAA also has a bookstore online with many highly recommended Suzuki resources.
Parents and teachers, please submit your ideas to continue expanding this list.
Sincerely,
HASSA
