Suzuki Method
Objectives:
To educate Suzuki teachers who fully understand:
a) Dr Suzuki’s Philosophy:
How to explain and discuss it, how it applies to everyday life and to the teaching of their instrument.
b) Performance:
How to demonstrate successfully in their own playing the application of the Suzuki approach.
c) Teaching Methods:
How to demonstrate the teaching points of the repertoire on their instrument, and explain why any given point is
taught in a particular way.
The Suzuki Approach is based on the principle that all children possess ability and that this ability can be developed and enhanced through a nurturing environment. All children learn to speak their own language with relative ease and if the same natural learning process is applied in teaching other skills, these can be acquired as successfully. Suzuki referred to the process as the Mother Tongue Method and to the whole system of pedagogy as Talent Education.
Shinichi Suzuki (1898-1998) was born in Japan and studied western music in Germany in the 1920s. He first began teaching young children in Japan in the 1930s and further developed his ideas and philosophy of teaching during the post-war period. His approach to teaching has now spread to many parts of the world and is proving increasingly successful everywhere. Because he was a violinist, he first applied his ideas to the teaching of violin, but it has since been used with many other instruments, in nursery school teaching and other more general areas.
The important elements of the Suzuki approach to instrumental teaching include the following:
* an early start (aged 3-4 is normal in Asia)
* the importance of listening to music
* learning to play before learning to read
* the involvement of the parent
* a nurturing and positive learning environment
* a high standard of teaching by trained teachers
* the importance of producing a good sound in a balanced and natural way
* core repertoire, used by Suzuki students across the world
* social interaction with other children: Suzuki students from all over the world can communicate through the language of music
Aims of the Suzuki Approach
The Suzuki approach has enabled many children to play music to a high standard. Substantial numbers of Suzuki trained students have indeed become highly acclaimed professional musicians. However, the training of professionals is not the main aim: the emphasis throughout is on the development of the whole child, on education through music. Dr Suzuki himself always said that his wish was to foster the human qualities in the child. At every opportunity he called on politicians, teachers and parents to ensure that the full potential of every child is developed:
I want - if I can - to get education changed from mere instruction to education in the real sense of the word - education that inculcates, brings out, develops the human potential, based on the growing life of the child. That is why I am devoting my efforts to furthering Talent Education: what a child becomes depends entirely on how he is educated. My prayer is that all children on this globe may become fine human beings, happy people of superior ability, and I am devoting all my energies to making this come about, for I am convinced that all children are born with this potential.

铃木教学法解说会
MY Music将在来临的星期一（十月十九日）晚上七点三十分在其音乐中心举办“铃木教学法解说会”。此次的讲员是蔡彼得先生。他是马来西亚铃木协会(Malaysia Suzuki Association) 的主席。
铃木教学法是由日本出生的铃木镇一（Shinichi Suzuki）创办的。他坚信每个小孩都拥有学习音乐的能力，就好比每个小孩都能学习母语一样。基于此信念，铃木镇一就把母语学习的原则及方法运用在学习音乐上。其中包括家长的参与;重复不断的练习;特别培训的师资；音乐聆听及鉴赏；个人学习课程及小组练习。目前，铃木教学法已经在超过52个国家广泛使用。
另外，马来西亚铃木协会也提供“铃木教师专业文凭”课程。此课程已经受马来西亚公共服务局（JPA）及另外五十二个国家承认。
欢迎家长，学生, 音乐爱好者及音乐老师们踊跃出席这次的解说会。欲知更多详情，请联络MY Music （086-310191）或游览www.mymusic-bintulu.blogspot.com.

Talk: Introduction to London College of Music (LCM)
London College of Music (LCM) has successfully organized a talk, entitled "Introduction to LCM" on 18th August 2009 (Tuesday) at MY Music. The talk was aimed to introduce and promote LCM to music teachers, students and parents in Bintulu. Millions thanks to Dr. John Howard (the director of examinations of LCM) and Eunice Ling (LCM representative) for arranging such talk.
伦敦音乐学院（简称LCM）成功于星期二晚上七点三十分假MY Music举行一场讲座会《认识伦敦音乐学院（LCM）》。当晚的讲师是霍华德•约翰博士（Dr. John Howard）。目前担任LCM的考试局主任的霍华德•约翰博士简单既幽默地讲解该考试局在本地所提供各等级和文凭的考试。目前，LCM提供音乐、戏剧以及传播课程的等级考试与文凭考试。
伦敦音乐学院成立于1887年。其成立的宗旨是为了提供校外考试当时的英国学生。根据霍华德•约翰博士,1890年开始，LCM已经开始在英国以外的地区及国家提供校外考试了。1991年，LCM成为英国名校泰晤士河谷大学（Thames Valley University）的一分子，音乐也就成为该大学艺术系的其中课程。
根据霍华德•约翰博士, LCM有四个特点：
第一， 所有LCM的考试证书都是由泰晤士河谷大学所颁发的。这也意味着，LCM 的证书都是受英国政府机构（包括QCA及UCAS）及国际承认的。
第二， 有效及友善的管理方式。任何有关LCM的询问都在最短的时间内给予最好的答复。目前，LCM校外考试在全球逾250的国家举办，通过当地代表提供友善与有效的监考服务。
第三， LCM所提供的考试范围非常广泛。其音乐课程涵盖了古典音乐，流行音乐，爵士音乐及传统音乐（其中包括了华乐及印度传统音乐）。不但如此，LCM提供了从学前到专业文凭的考试。学生可以报考钢琴、管弦乐器、歌唱、音乐乐理（古典及现代）、音乐剧、教会音乐、吉他、电子风琴、锣鼓、敲击乐、爵士钢琴、管弦乐流行音乐演唱会、室内乐团、关键阶段3文凭等。
第四， 有素质的考官及可靠的评审制度。目前，LCM共有约130名的考官。每一位的考官都经过严谨的训练，及再训练。目的就是要保持该考试局可靠的评审制度。
除此以外，霍华德•约翰博士也提供了参加LCM考试的贴士。考生们除了在平时的学习过程中用心学习及认真练习，他们也要在考试前准备他们的思维-“考试=演出”。他们必须有最好的状态来应付考试。
最后，霍华德•约翰博士希望LCM为民都鲁的音乐爱好者，老师及学生提供另一个更好的选择。

<认识LCM>座讲会
伦敦音乐学院（简称LCM）将于八月十八日(星期二)晚上七点三十分假MY Music举行一场讲座会<认识LCM>。当晚的讲师是约翰霍华德博士（Dr. John Howard）。目前担任LCM的考试局主任的约翰霍华德博士将于当晚分享该考试局在本地所提供各等级及文凭的考试。欢迎家长，学生及有兴趣者出席。询问详情，请联络：许先生（016-8856484）。
伦敦音乐学院
伦敦音乐学院（简称LCM）是音乐、戏剧以及传播课程的等级考试与文凭的国际考试局。
从1887年成为音乐私立学院以来，LCM开办各种校外考试课程。1991年，LCM成为英国名校泰晤士河谷大学（Thames Valley University）的一分子，音乐也就成为该大学艺术系的其中课程。换言之，LCM文凭是由泰晤士河谷大学所颁发的。
LCM校外考试在全球逾250的国家举办，通过当地代表提供友善与有效的监考服务。
LCM考试包括初学者的基础考试至表演、教学、编写以及研究各领域的四个等级都有。学生也可以选择报考“休闲演奏”，即考试只检定报考者的表演水平，而没有进一步测验他们的学术水平。
考试范围与领域极广，学生可以报考钢琴、任何管弦乐器、歌唱、音乐乐理（古典及现代）、音乐剧、教会音乐、吉他、电子风琴、锣鼓、鼓击乐、爵士钢琴、管弦乐流行音乐演唱会、室内乐团、关键阶段3文凭等。
电子吉他考试则与Registry of Guitar Tutors联合举办，所颁发的文凭也获得国际认可。
LCM所开办的校外考试课程由英国政府QCA审核，以确保其品质与水平。在LCM第六至八级考获及格或更好成绩的学生，可通过UCAS系统报读英国大学以增加他们的学分。
如今报考LCM第六至八级理论与演奏音乐高级文凭试者，将可获得UCAS学分，以供他们申请就读非音乐课程。这也意味着，音乐课程拥有与其他学术课程同等的地位。
