The Ewald Suzuki Guitar Method, LLC decades of proven results
If any of your kids have asked for guitar lessons, I highly recommend Annalisa Ewald. She teaches her own combination of Suzuki/reading notes, which helps the little ones start playing very quickly. My son started with her at age 5, at his insistence, and she instilled a passion for music (in addition to all of the other proven benefits of learning instrumental music) which has lasted. He is now a music performance/economics major at University of Michigan.
Testimonial by former student, Isaac Sellhausen
I was inspired to learn the classical guitar at three-years old when a five-year old girl in my Montessori School class gave a recital at a school gathering. I was first amazed, then hooked. I begged my mom to ask my teacher how my classmate had learned to play. That began the next 6 years of Suzuki guitar lessons with Miss Annalisa Ewald.
​
We performed at recitals at many local venues; the Stamford Mall at Christmas, the Whole Foods community stage, Stepping Stones Museum, Southport’s Pequot Library and the Norwalk Maritime Aquarium’s Shark Tank!
​
Shin'ichi Suzuki, himself said, “I want to make good citizens. If a child hears fine music from the day of his birth and learns to play it himself, he develops sensitivity, discipline and endurance. He gets a beautiful heart.”
Studying guitar for so many years with Miss Annalisa has given me a calm patience and quiet confidence, and ability to stick with something, no matter how difficult. I fully intend to bring this effort and diligence to my college career, to stick with problems, no matter how difficult, until I have achieved my goals.
