The Suzuki Violinist: A Guide for Teachers and Parents - William J. Starr

So far, Suzuki's methods are not what I expected. They are thoughtful, compassionate, and intelligent ways to teach young children. This is not the kind of thing that can be derided for creating violin-playing child robots. Rather, these nurturing teaching methods are sure to result in individual success and happiness, and I look forward to implementing more of these philosophies in my own studio.
