What's new at Centro Suzuki NH
New Courses! Check out the new music teaching courses at Centro Suzuki Novo Hamburgo, led by teacher Micheli Ávila! The music education offered at CSNH is organized sequentially into three stages: Music for Babies, Children's Musicalization, and Musical Initiation. Each of these modalities has specific objectives, carefully planned so that children may develop fully through music. By means of sound experiences, movement, listening, and creative expression, children become more sensitive, communicative, and imaginative, also strengthening cognitive, emotional, and social aspects. Music is experienced in a playful and affectionate way, respecting each child's individual rhythm and valuing the pleasure of discovering and creating sounds. Check it out!
About CSNH
Centro Suzuki Novo Hamburgo
The Centro Suzuki Novo Hamburgo [CSNH] was founded in 2024 by professor Arthur Melo, who brought his experience of more than twenty years in teaching piano, combined with the expertise of teachers with a solid musical training. All CSNH teachers have a degree in music (Faculty), in addition to many other training courses.
CSNH offers music classes adopting the SUZUKI METHOD™, as it understands that this method encompasses values that are very precious to the lives of students. CSNH's vacancies covers, so far, the following musical instruments: Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello and Acoustic Guitar.
Quoting the Suzuki Association of the Americas [SAA] website, the Suzuki Method™ was developed by Dr. Shinichi Suzuki, and has several core components. While each teacher might offer their own interpretation of the Method, we have a few core tenets that guide our work.
1. We believe that all children are capable and deserving of becoming great musicians. The first course in our Teacher Development program is called 'Every Child Can!' [Suzuki Phylos] because, well, that’s what we believe. Those of us who practice the Suzuki Method know that talent is learned, not inborn. With the right support, every child can be successful.
2. We teach music based on how young people learn language. Dr. Suzuki called this the mother-tongue approach. When teaching young people how to read, we do not ask them to read before they can speak. Young people do not learn words for the purpose of learning to read a book; they learn to speak so that they can express themselves. In our approach, we do the same! We teach students by ear first, and we teach so students can express themselves through music. Each technical exercise is presented within the context of music and intended to develop the ability to communicate through music.
3. We encourage students to listen to music – A LOT. We know children learn words from listening. Similarly, listening to music offers students a bigger vocabulary for musical expression.
4. We love having families involved in student learning. Whether it’s a parent, grandparent, guardian, or an adult who is regularly involved in a young person’s life, we believe finding an adult that can support a student in their learning – in addition to their teacher – is a wonderful way to support student success. We know that for some students, this may not always be possible. Some of our teachers find creative and innovative ways for additional at-home support – and we encourage this too.
5. We lead with a positive environment and encouragement in our music lessons.
6. In addition to private lessons, students should expect to take part in group lessons and performances. Students are encouraged to learn with and support one another in their growth.
7. The purpose of learning music is not to become a professional musician (though, for some, that’s important too!), but instead, our goal is to support young people in their development as life-long learners with kind hearts! Music gives us skill sets well beyond our instruments, and we focus on developing those skill sets alongside our instrumental technique.
