The syllabus for Suzuki Early Musical Encouragement offers children the possibility of living music as from an early age, taking it on in a natural and pleasant way such as what happens with the mother tongue.
Through the very dynamic activities, children together with their parents enjoy music, expressing themselves through songs; movement; games; rhymes; exploring different sound sources and sharing with other children a space of enjoyment and enthusiasm.
In contrast to other proposals for Early Musical Encouragement, this syllabus has as pillars the basis of Suzuki´s Philosophy. Therefore, it is very important to take into account that:

· Father/Mother´s participation is essential
· The integral formation of the child will directly depend on his Environment.
· The principle aim of the syllabus is to educate the person through music.

E.M.E in relationship with the Development of the Multiple Intelligences

Howard Gardner and his team at the Univeristy of Harvard, identified eight different types of intelligence: Logical.Mathematic; Linguistic; Spacial; Musical; Corporal-Kinesthetic; Intrapersonal; Interpersonal; Naturalist.
In our E.M.E. lessons we work developing the child from different aspects, activating the different intelligences.
