The Genius of Simplicity

簡約的天才》一書由琳達-威克斯（Linda Wickes）於 1982 年撰寫，她是一位管弦樂小提琴家、教育家、講師，也是一位使用鈴木教學法（Suzuki Method®）的專職弦樂教師。作者本人聲稱，她的書是對懷疑論者關於鈴木教學法®是膚淺的簡單化噱頭的暗示的反駁或回答。她實現了自己的目標，但成功之處遠不止於此！威克斯在書的開頭分析了鈴木的哲學思想，接下來的章節分別是：從小開始 * 逐步掌握 * 聆聽學習 * 集體課程和表演 * 教學法和技巧 * 父母和練習 * 心理學。本書最大的亮點是對每個方面進行了深度和廣度的研究。這些研究的結晶就是為所有對幼稚教育感興趣的人提供的豐富的閱讀書目。所有教師、家長、鈴木學生以及所有對不斷發展的幼稚教育領域感興趣的人都應該閱讀和學習這本書

原文簡介:
The Genius of Simplicity was written in 1982 by Linda Wickes, an orchestral violinist, educator, lecturer, and dedicated string teacher who uses the Suzuki Method®. Her book, the author herself claims, is a rebuttal or answer to the implication from skeptics that the Suzuki Method® is a "shallow simplistic gimmick." She accomplishes her goal, but succeeds in doing considerably more! Wickes begins her book with an analysis of Suzuki's philosophy, and continues with chapters entitled: Start Young * Step-by-Step Mastery * Learning by Listening * Group Lessons and Performances * Pedagogy and Technique * Parents and Practicing * Psychology. This book's most wonderful feature is the depth and breadth of research which has gone into each facet. The culmination of this research is a bibliography of such wealth in a provided reading list for all interested in early childhood education. This book should be read and studied by all teachers, parents, and students of Suzuki as well as all people interested in the growing field of early childhood education.
