Teaching with an Open Heart

By Edward Kreitman
Book, 127 pages

A guide to developing conscious musicianship for Suzuki parents, teachers and students.

“Teaching with an Open Heart is a treasure. More than just a textbook on violin playing, Edward Kreitman has combined the wisdom of his extensive experience with a penetrating and sympathetic journey into the world of intellectual and spiritual adventure.”

— John Kendall, Suzuki Pioneer
Professor Emeritus, Southern Illinois University

“Edward Kreitman has taken the life-altering experience of open-heart surgery and subsequent learnings—medical, psychological, and spiritual—and integrated them into his life as a wholistic teacher. Teaching with an Open Heart will inform and inspire others who teach the violin. The truths he shares, however, go far beyond the instrument, mirroring the teachings of Dr. Suzuki, that we are ‘educating for life through music.’”
