I think this is what Mr. Suzuki always thinks about through the violin.

“Today, how about giving him your tone, your heart for a present."

Dr. Suzuki would be very happy to know that Suzuki children all over the world are learning to play music beautifully and to become kind, peaceful human beings. On his 100th birthday next October 17, please think of him, thanking him for his gifts to children and giving him your beautiful tone and heart in return.

Suzuki often spoke of nurturing the “life force”. His own life was exemplary. He continued to be active as a teacher throughout the world until well into his nineties and died in his sleep at his home in Japan on the 26th of January in his 100th year. During his lifetime he received many honorary degrees, was also named a Living national Treasure by the Emperor of Japan, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
