Children should listen to the reference recordings every day at home to develop musicalsensitivity. Rapid progress depends on this listening.2. Tonalization, or the production of a beautiful tone, should be stressed in the lesson and athome.3. Constant attention should be given to accurate intonation, correct posture, and the properbow hold.4. Parents and teachers should strive to motivate children so they will enjoy practicingcorrectly at home.Through the experience I have gained in teaching young children for over thirty years, I amthoroughly convinced that musical ability can be fully cultivated in all children if the above fourpoints are faithfully observed.Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability that can be developed. All children who areproperly trained can develop musical ability just as all children develop the ability to speak theirmother tongue. For the happiness of children, I hope these four essential points will be carefullyobserved and put to continual use in the home and in the studio.Shinichi Suzuki
