The six steps of Suzuki method are: contact → imitation → encouragement → repetition → increase → perfection.

Suzuki is a famous Japanese violinist and music educator. He was born into a violin manufacturer's family. In 1950s, Suzuki devoted himself to the construction of "genius education system" and "genius movement" by teaching children to play the violin. At the same time, his music education system has aroused widespread concern in the world music education field and has become another important system in the field of children's music education.

Basic ideas and viewpoints of the education system;

1. Create a good environment for children to learn music.

Suzuki believes that talent does not depend on heredity. But developed through the influence of acquired effective environment and education. Environment is the first important condition for the development of children's musical talent. He firmly believes that people are influenced by the environment. So when he taught his children to learn the violin, he didn't teach them at first.

Therefore, when he taught his children to learn the violin, he didn't teach them at first, but only taught his mother. In order to make him feel the environment full of music every day in his life, he listened to his mother's or recorded demonstrations. In order to improve children's musical sensitivity.

In his view, in order for children to learn music, we must first create an environment for children to learn their mother tongue, and let beautiful music surround them all day like their own language. In this way, any child can enter music learning. And this kind of music learning can get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, people also call Suzuki method "mother tongue teaching method".

2. Stimulating children's interest environment provides an important premise and condition for the development of children's musical talent.

In an excellent music environment, children need to make efforts, and the motivation of hard work and unremitting practice comes from the stimulation of children's positive emotions.

Cultivating and stimulating children's interest in music is the common feature of any effective children's music education system, and Suzuki system is no exception. He believes that "interest is the source of ability", and the fundamental thing for educators is to let the educated have hobbies.

To this end, Suzuki created a unique "mother participation method" and "collective teaching method".

3. Advocate perseverance and persistent practice.

When children are interested in playing music and musical instruments, they need to do a lot of persistent and repeated exercises, which is another important viewpoint of Suzuki's education system.

4. Pay attention to the cultivation of listening habits and skills.

Suzuki believes that keen listening and intuitive response are based on the acquisition of a large number of listening experiences. Therefore, the cultivation of listening habits and skills is another main goal of children's music education.

For this reason, Suzuki requires children to strengthen their hearing and memory when learning to play musical instruments, and gradually learn to judge the sound intuitively in the process of repeated listening, find out the mistakes in their performance, and pursue better performance through correction.

5. Advocate "six-step teaching".
