I'm teaching Suzuki and Viewpoint workshops at the moment and it's so hard to find a quality video. These people have obviously only just met with the training (I'm not being mean, I'm commenting on the level of the center), does anyone know where I can find a video of people training at a higher level? Or at least a video where the trainer iss actually talking about what suzuki is actually about instead of discussing it from a technicallyy point of view?
Does anyone know where to get Suzuki music for the exercises... walks, stomping, etc? I have been searching for weeks, and since I began taking Suzuki (over 5 years ago) I have been wanting to practice at home - but would love the music!
@TheFirstClassedFreak My Suzuki teachers were two of the first Americans in Mr. Suzuki's company. We used music from The Beatles and Jem's "They" for walks. It has so precious little to do with music.
Thank you for this! I was just introduced to Suzuki for the past two days from a teacher from Siti - and it was fantastic. I can't walk, but it was fantastic. I feel fed and want more! :)
This is amazing Matt, except I look like I'm terrified of the exercises :( Haha, But this is really cool because now I know what I need to work on for next time!
As a teacher of Suzuki and Viewpoints at the university level for the past 12 years (and 5 years of on and off again training with the SITI company) I am concerned by the level of work here. This video seems to be more about the instructor having something to prove than about the true rigors of the grammar of the feet, or the true energizing of the core utilizing the only two qualities we as actors have at our disposal -- movement and stillness.
I feel the same way about this video. As a high school drama teacher who's was chosen to take this course on - I think Suzuki method is something I would like to pursue. The problem being that I live in rural Britsh Cilumbia. Hmmmmm!
horrible technique. slow walk.....uh that's meant to be SLOW

@shea864 I'm afraid it's sacred. You can't own the music unless you have worked with suzuki yourself.
