The Philosophy
of Integrity Music Academy
When
Dr. Shinichi Suzuki originally conceived of his method for teaching
strings, he emphasized the importance of developing character within
the student. His goal was to improve people through the discipline of
learning music. Integrity
Music Academy brings together music training and character development
through a unique approach to lessons. Using an innovative and
attractive set of character materials, the IMA program offers a way to
combine specific character-building teaching with the conventional
private lesson setting.
Students will learn how the
definition and application of personal integrity provide the framework
for developing positive character growth in a musical setting. Ultimately, however, the traits studied during lessons go far beyond
learning an instrument. It is the goal of IMA to help
students learn to
apply these character qualities to their entire lives as they strive
for both musical and moral excellence.
Our
traditional music instruction is completed by the addition of specific
character building tools. These ideals are a lesson to us all, student,
teacher, and parent alike. Becoming intimately familiar with these
words, definitions and deeds has a positive effect on people for their
entire lives. For a list of character qualities, click HERE: |
