Talk:Suzuki method

POV: "So far as the first criticism is concerned, more sight reading exercises are now incorporated. So far as the second is concerned, the Suzuki method should not compromise individual musical development but should facilitate it, both by providing a sound technical base from an early age, and from encouraging the study of the instrument in the first place." Seems rather opinionated (and conclusive at that) to me. --Perlman10s 07:18, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is however balanced by the previous sentence which you have not quoted: "The most common criticisms of the Suzuki method from more traditional teachers are that its methods of group playing and the copying of playing styles by ear can (a) compromise sight reading skills and (b) tend towards rote learning at the expense of individual musicianship although a high degree of early technical ability is thereby produced."

True, it does state the criticisms. But I'm concerned with the fact that the article chooses to refute them. Yes, you want to give both points of view in an article. But in this case, the author chose to give more credence to one POV, which is a no-no. --Perlman10s 04:10, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
