Why It Matters
The Suzuki approach, founded by Japanese violinist Shinichi Suzuki, mirrors the way children learn their first language — through listening, repetition, and loving encouragement. This “mother-tongue approach” has proven transformative for generations of Moravian Academy students, who develop not only musical skill but also enhanced cognitive abilities, executive functioning, and creativity.
By weaving music into the fabric of daily learning, Moravian Academy empowers students to excel academically while nurturing their confidence, curiosity, and love of learning.
