Ability Development from Age Zero Review: Must Read for new parents, early childhood educators - This book is a rare and genius insight into the learning potential of a child- from newborn on up. I loved this because for one ; it's not an encyclopedia. It's totally readable- it's in layman's terms. It is written in a personal style, not a dry textbook anonymous prose but very personal. I can tell that Mr. Suzuki is passionate about his work to the extent that he would probably have done it even if he never earned a cent. There are some absolutely fascinating concepts introduced in this work that most people have never heard of, but to a parent is valuable information in the shaping of a child's mind. Highly recommended for child development studies and early childhood educators, but most importantly, parents who wish to encourage their child's growth in any one particular direction- or in many. Right up there with Maria Montessori. Review: Excellent explanations for parents who may have learned by traditional ... - This is a must for any parent starting a child in the Suzuki method. Excellent explanations for parents who may have learned by traditional methods when they were children. Dr. Suzuki's approach is different. His approach is that a child can learn to play a musical instrument like the child learns to speak the native language: by repetition, encouragement from the parent with the parent being the "home teacher" and doing what the teacher has done in lessons. Therefore, the child begins by learning the music by rote memorization in the first book ....I call it "copy cat" and we make a game of that learning. Memory is developed and serves the child well as he/she ages in school and into the adult world. Hand position, sound production are also developed. This book prepares the parent to expect to wait to learn to read notes/rhythms/ etc. as in traditional methods until later in the lessons. Reading comes, but it is delayed until the basic touches, memory, etc. are developed. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #573,860 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #217 in Music Encyclopedias #448 in Music Reference (Books) #2,642 in Music Instruction & Study (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 150 Reviews | ## Images ![Ability Development from Age Zero - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51G450zCgqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must Read for new parents, early childhood educators *by N***S on September 17, 2016* This book is a rare and genius insight into the learning potential of a child- from newborn on up.

This is a fantastic parenting book. I am sure I will read it over and over as my children grow. The anecdotal voice of the book makes it a breeze to get through, and a pleasure. The only book I think even more highly of is "Nurtured by Love", the second book I read by Suzuki. The information is so basic and obvious, yet completely transcendental. He is a beautiful, clear writer, and has amassed a huge following for a reason. Beautiful person, beautiful books. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4973342-ability-development-from-age-zero](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4973342-ability-development-from-age-zero) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
