The Suzuki MethodA(R) of Talent Education is based on Dr. Shinichi
Suzuki's view that every child is born with ability, and that man
is the son of his environment. According to Dr. Suzuki, a
world-renowned violinist and teacher, the greatest joy an adult can
know comes from developing a child's potential so he/she can
express all that is harmonious and best in human beings. Students
are taught using the "mother-tongue" approach. Suzuki Cello School

The banjo has been called by many names over its history, but they
all refer to the same sound-strings humming over skin-that has
eased souls and electrified crowds for centuries. The Banjo invites
us to hear that sound afresh in a biography of one of America's
iconic folk instruments. Attuned to a rich heritage spanning
continents and cultures, Laurent Dubois traces the banjo from
humble origins, revealing how it became one of the great stars of
American musical life. In the seventeenth century, enslaved people
in the Caribbean and North America drew on their memories of varied
African musical traditions to construct instruments from carved-out
gourds covered with animal skin. Providing a much-needed sense of
rootedness, solidarity, and consolation, banjo picking became an
essential part of black plantation life. White musicians took up
the banjo in the nineteenth century, when it became the foundation
of the minstrel show and began to be produced industrially on a
large scale. Even as this instrument found its way into rural white
communities, however, the banjo remained central to African
American musical performance. Twentieth-century musicians
incorporated the instrument into styles ranging from ragtime and
jazz to Dixieland, bluegrass, reggae, and pop. Versatile and
enduring, the banjo combines rhythm and melody into a single
unmistakable sound that resonates with strength and purpose. From
the earliest days of American history, the banjo's sound has
allowed folk musicians to create community and joy even while
protesting oppression and injustice.
