Abstract

It is mandatory from the research on the Bornoff and Suzuki methods that the entire gamut of string education owe Dr. Bornoff and Mr . Suzuki for their outstanding contributions, dedication and commitment to the promotion of strings around the world. Their results are so remarkable and so convincing that both authors have attracted teachers and artists from many lands both near and far in an in-depth study into their methods. It is through this greater search for knowledge and understanding that one can become a more successful teacher. This study has been undertaken to satisfy the need for a mora progressive string method or pedagogy in lieu of outdated string methods used year after year. Such a study has enabled the author to gain a thorough and in-depth understanding of the sequential teaching techniques of the Bornoff String Method and the Suzuki String Method and has helped her lead her string students to a more continuous and successful musical achievement. Research conducted on the philosophy and biography of Dr. Bornoff and Mr. Suzuki has shed important light on the "make-up" of their methods. A study of comparisons and similarities of both approaches was conducted and presented in Chapter VI. The author utilized information acquired from all available literature (periodicals, books, reports and music) and summer workshops along with her teac:bing experience to construct Chapter V on the teaching techniques of both methods. In the conclusion, the author reveals her combined plan of the teaching techniques of both methods, according to the highest of ideals for developinc one's potential to the fullest.
