Suzuki Teacher Community

As Suzuki trained teachers, we are lucky to have a wonderful sharing community. With this shared philosophy and repertoire we can work really well together.

Here are some links to some that have helped contribute to my own website.

​

The Twinkle Foundation

​

The Twinkle Foundation is a collective of Suzuki teachers in Aotearoa, New Zealand who teach an educational music programme for 0-3 year olds and their parents.

The Goal of the programme is to create an environment for young children and their parents free from pressure in which they can gain skills in music, English, and te reo Māori, a sense of purpose in life, an understanding of discipline and an appreciation of beauty.

NZ Suzuki Institute

The New Zealand Suzuki Institute (NZSI), was formed over forty years ago. The NZSI now has seven branches throughout the country with over 150 teachers and 2000 students studying a variety of instruments including violin, cello, piano, flute and guitar, as well as participating in Suzuki Early Childhood Music programmes.

Alongside the local branches, the NZSI exists to:

• Nurture the character and ability of children through Dr Suzuki’s vision of communities enriched by music.

• Nurture the character and ability of its teachers through internationally benchmarked teacher training opportunities and registration.

• Offer regular music workshops and camps during school holidays that the entire family may attend.

• Provide access to national and international Suzuki conferences.

• Offer performance opportunities for students at all levels of the Suzuki repertoire.

• Provide a national journal with articles on the Suzuki approach and related topics, and information about upcoming Suzuki events.

• Offer opportunities to attend parent information and education meetings.

• Provide a student graduation process.

We encourage all of our Suzuki families to become members of NZSI, to receive the above benefits.

Violin Purchase

Alistair's Music - 215 Cuba Street, Wellington - 04 917 4487

I can recommend Alistair and his team at Alistair's Music.

​

Alistair's Music offers some affordable options for violin purchase, from 1/32 - 4/4 size violins.

​

Alistair's Music also have a Trade-In deal, where you can trade in the instrument that you purchased from them, and put the trade-in value into the next size up! 

​

​

Antonio Strings - Christchurch

info@antoniostrings.com

03-377-8813

I also highly recommend the team at Antonio Strings! 

​

Their standard student instrument is their very own AS10 model. Great projection and clean response, making it ideal for learning. 

All AS10 violins are set-up in their violin workshop, using ebony chinrests, pegs and fingerboards, and Wittner plastic tailpieces with integrated adjusters. They have selected Vision strings as an excellent fit.

When you buy an instrument set (instrument, bow and case) from Antonio Strings, you will have the option of trading this in when you purchase your next Antonio Strings instrument. For more information, visit their website under Services
