Dr. Elizabeth Ramos and the Rising Stars class of beginning Suzuki Strings students.
A performing artist and teacher, Elizabeth Ramos has expanded her skills and talent to encompass business and a new technique for teaching Mariachi music.
Ramos is a professional classical violinist, a Suzuki Method teacher in the Greenville ISD, a businesswoman and musician who owns a company called Enchanted Occasions Music, a frequent performer in mariachi bands in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and the innovator of a program for teaching mariachi-style music to youngsters.
The celebrated Suzuki Method begins with very young students.
âWe always want to start the students as young as possible because thatâs when they are adept at learning languages,â Ramos said. âThe Suzuki Method utilizes the Mother Tongue Method. Before the students start to learn, there is something called the Suzuki listening album. The children need to listen to the album in the same way that they listen to their native language in order to become fluent in Suzuki.â
