Shinichi Suzuki, famed violin teacher that brought the love of music to millions of preschoolers, was preparing to enter a class full of his young students. Upon entering, he meditated.... another teacher asked what he was doing. He said...
“I am mentally preparing myself for the five-year-old mind. I want to come down to their physical limitations and up to their sense of wonder and awe."
It is this belief that pulls together my interest of Waldorf/Enki method and Suzuki.
A great parenting book that everyone should read:
Nurtured By Love

Emma has been holding random items up to her shoulder and dragging a pencil or something over them, calling them her violins. I think she was really impressed with Will's performance the other day.
You guys want to come over sometime next week?
