Recollections of a Peripatetic Pedagogue

By John Kendall
Book, 130 pages with over 50 photographs

Suzuki pioneer John Kendall’s recollections of events in his life and career.

“The appropriateness of ‘peripatetic pedagogue’ to describe my career can best be understood by glancing at the maps in the endpapers of this book, where my travels, both national and international, are recorded. Indeed, a colleague once called me ‘the Marco Polo of the Suzuki Method’. Another thought ‘Johnny Appleseed of the Suzuki movement’ might be appropriate. Fortunately, no one has yet designated me ‘the Genghis Khan of the violin world’, although the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun once described me as a member of the ‘American Strange Teachers Association’.”
—John Kendall
