The problem of the study was manifested in the question: Does the use of the Suzuki violin method of instruction with young children affect achievement in selected academic areas? Also, do children, where parents evidence interest in their school activities, make greater achievement than children where parents do not indicate such an interest?

Denna uppsats handlar om Suzukimetoden. Syftet med arbetet är att beskriva metoden med dess styrkor och svagheter samt att få förståelse för hur tidigare suzukielever ser på sin tid som suzukielev.   Den teoretiska bakgrunden utgörs av Lev Vygotskijs och Howard Gardners teorier. Utöver litteraturstudier har jag genomfört kvalitativa intervjuer med sex ungdomar/vuxna som tidigare varit suzukielever. De valde alla att sluta spela när de kom upp i tonåren. Det är deras berättelser som är studiens empiri.   Resultatet visar att personerna anser att suzukitiden betytt mycket positivt för dem. Framför allt lyfter de fram gemenskapen som de upplevde som suzukielever. Läger, kompisar och grupplektioner är roliga minnen som de bär med sig och som de anser har påverkat dem positivt. De positiva omdömena av undervisningen dominerar. I studien framkommer dock några områden som lärare och föräldrar behöver reflektera över. Det berör notinlärning, överdrivet föräldraengagemang och konkurrens. / This essay is about the Suzuki method. The purpose of this work is to describe the method and its strengths and weaknesses and to gain an understanding of how former Suzuki students view their studies in the Suzuki method.   The theoretical background consists of Lev Vygotsky and Howard Gardner’s theories. In addition to literature studies, I conducted interviews with six young adults who were Suzuki students and who chose to quit playing when becoming teenagers. It is their stories that are the study’s empirical evidence.   The results indicate that the Suzuki studies were very positive for them. Above all, they refer to the sense of community they felt as Suzuki students. Camp, friends and group lessons are fun memories that they share and which have been a positive influence. The positive reviews of teaching predominate. However, the study shows certain areas that teachers and parents need to reflect on. It affects note learning, excessive parental involvement and competition

Para isso, considera-se a cultura japonesa e a visão de Suzuki acerca da Música e da Educação; o processo de Desenvolvimento Humano, na ótica de Vigotsky e algumas características do mundo contemporâneo. Esses aspectos aparecem no texto em contraponto com a História de Vida de Shinobu Saito, principal representante do método no Brasil. / Based on the work of the teacher Shinobu Saito with the Suzuki method, this research proposes to reflect on the teaching of music in our time considering the different aspects of this methodology and the implications of these ideas for the teaching/learning process. For this, one consider the japanese culture and Suzuki's vision of Music and Education; The process of Human Development, in Vygotsky's view and some characteristics of the contemporary world. These aspects rise in the text in counterpoint with the Life Story of Shinobu Saito, the main agent of the method in Brazil.

The intent of this dissertation is to identify and analyze several pieces by female composers that are technically suitable for the specific development of an advanced Suzuki violin student studying in Suzuki books 7 or 8. The selected pieces can then be used by trained Suzuki teachers, in conjunction with the male-composer-dominated Suzuki repertoire, to enhance students' technical development while also increasing their well-rounded musicianship by exposing them to female composers. The development of off-the-string bow strokes, string crossings, shifting, left-hand articulation and musical expression will be traced through the first six volumes of the Suzuki repertoire in order to understand a Suzuki student's expected abilities pertaining to these technical elements when beginning the repertoire in books 7 and 8. Pieces by female composers highlighting and enhancing the referenced techniques will be identified and analyzed in a similar manner. These pieces will be compiled into a document for Suzuki students and teachers to use, along with appropriate editorial markings and biographies of the composers. This document can be an inspirational supplement to Suzuki students' musical development and help develop an awareness of female composers.
