Suzuki
starters
I was wondering if anyone knew of any famous musicians today that
started off as Suzuki students.

Yes - and a big-time heavy-weight in that whole movement.

Re: Suzuki

I know that there are some others, mentioned in recent string
magazine that I was reading - I think that it was the English Mag.
String Teacher or something similar. Possibly Sarah Chang?
Also Takako Nishizaki, who was one of Dr Suzuki's first
students. However, when she went to Juliard, where she studied with
Joseph Fuchs, it was all very anti-Suzuki, and she has since written
articles 'denouncing' the Suzuki Method.
Ms. Nishizaki records
for Naxos.
Although I am not going to start on 'propaganda',
I was discussing this very question with some non-Suzuki teaching
colleagues. We came to the conclusion that every famous musician had
a teacher, or teachers, that used their own 'method' of teaching.
The fact that Suzuki has not produced a great many 'famous'
musicians' is immaterial, because the Suzuki method has produced
about as many as any other individual teacher's method.
The
fact is that of all the children who start learning the cello at the
age of 8 every year, there are not going to be very many who 'make
it big', and those that do will do it, regardless of what 'method'
is used, as long as they receive good teaching......
I will
quote: '. . . his aim was not to create a world full of prodigy
violinists [or cellists], but rather to use music as a vehicle
through which care and love for children could be expressed, and
children could have acess to experiencing music, and having their
lives enhanced by this.'
My philosophical rant is now
over.

Oh--I thought
this might be another baseball-related thread.
