ASJ Call for Articles: Defining Suzuki Success

Defining Suzuki Success

Summer 2026, ASJ Volume 54, Number 4
Submission Deadline: July 1, 2026

There are a dizzying number of ways we can define success. It differs from person to person, student to student, and parent to parent. We can even have different interpretations of what Shinichi Suzuki meant by success. For this issue, we’d like to cast a broad net toward the idea of defining success. 

• How do you define success for your students? For yourself? 
• What is your own goal of your work? 
• What are your concrete and/or abstract goals?
• How do you track socio-emotional learning? 
• If character development is a key indicator of success, how do we track it?
• What is musical or pedagogical “excellence”?

The deadline for submissions is July 1, 2026. Our submission guidelines and submission form can be found here: https://suzukiassociation.org/manuscript-guidelines/. Please contact ASJ Editor Andrew Braddock with any thoughts or questions: [email protected].
