Abstract
Understanding is the foundation of music appreciation, the ultimate goal of music learning. The purpose of this research was to create a model for the integration and implementation of Gordon's music learning theory principles into Suzuki violin instruction. This research shows how audiation can be taught within the framework of the Suzuki philosophy and curriculum. It is expected that Gordon's music learning theory can provide Suzuki teachers with unique capabilities for teaching musical understanding, specifically through the development of audiation. Through an audiation-based approach to Suzuki instruction, thus, young violinists will be able to learn to comprehend the tonal and rhythmic aspects of the music they perform. Future researchers may wish to assemble a more complete guide to the tonal and rhythm patterns used in the Suzuki repertoire. Furthermore, additional lesson plans and activities can and should be developed that represent the application of music learning theory to Suzuki violin instruction.
