December Suzuki Quote

Success breeds success.  –Shinichi Suzuki

A feeling of true accomplishment motivates ongoing effort.  Succeeding in one small step at a time provides the skills and the motivation to try the next step.  Positive feedback and encouraging correction can create an environment where true success is an ongoing experience.  Success can also transfer outside the music realm.  Accomplishing a goal in music lessons can teach the skills for accomplishing goals in other parts of life, and it can provide confidence to try other new or difficult tasks away from the instrument.
