This method, developed by Dr Shinichi Suzuki, offers an inspiring and nurturing environment for students of all ages to learn and excel in piano playing.
The Suzuki piano method provides a holistic approach to piano education, encompassing technique, ear training, music theory, sight-reading, and ensemble playing.
By developing a well-rounded musical foundation, students become not only skilled pianists but also knowledgeable and passionate musicians.
The Suzuki method encourages early exposure to music, making it an ideal choice for children. Starting to learn piano at a young age allows children to develop their listening skills, memory, and coordination while fostering a love for music that can last a lifetime.
However, it's never too late to start! Adults can also benefit from the Suzuki method, experiencing the joy of learning and playing the piano at their own pace.
At Ivana's Piano Studio, I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate the diverse schedules of my students. Each student's learning journey is tailored to their unique needs and goals allowing them to make progress comfortably and confidently at their own pace. With my patience and encouraging teaching approach I ensure a personalised experience that fosters growth and musical development.
Performing is an essential part of musical development. I actively create opportunities and encourage my students to participate in recitals, workshops, and community events throughout the year.
These performances build confidence, showcase their progress, and foster a sense of accomplishment.
Just as children naturally acquire language skills, the Suzuki method encourages early exposure to music. By immersing students in a rich musical environment from a young age, we lay the foundation for a lifelong love of music.
Through careful listening and imitation, students learn to play music by ear before reading notation. This process cultivates a strong sense of musicality, nurtures the ability to memorise, and promotes expressive playing.
At the heart of the Suzuki method is the active involvement of parents or guardians. As a parent, you become an essential partner in your child's musical journey, attending lessons, taking notes, and providing guidance and encouragement at home.
The Suzuki method emphasises creating a nurturing and positive learning environment. Our studio fosters an atmosphere of support, where mistakes are viewed as opportunities for growth, and each accomplishment is celebrated.

Group activities foster camaraderie among students, boost motivation, and enhance musical understanding.
