<p>My younger son’s music teacher does not use Suzuki (only a few pieces, but not the method), and she has all staters every year. Her method is more rapid than Suzuki, and she pays more attention to musicality (while teaching the technique of course) than Suzuki. I know the difference because my older son was taught with classical Suzuki method. I know it’s more about differences between kids, but the younger one went farther than the Suzuki trained older son. And the younger one made to all state.</p>
