In "Life Lens: Seeing Your Children in Color," author and celebrated Suzuki music instructor Michele Monahan Horner breaks down a child's interior landscape into seven different colors. Far from typecasting, the foundation of the Life Lens method focuses on a respectful recognition of each individual's hardwired differences and learning how to meet others where they are most ready to learn.Who will benefit from the Life Lens model? -- Parents -- Educators -- Social Workers -- Guidance Counselors -- Human Resources Professionals -- Coaches -- Business Owners -- YOU! Life Lens principles apply universally across all ages, classroom groups, and with non-musicians. By using "Life Lens," you will be able to home in on the most effective strategies to communicate with and help your students learn. Parents will learn how to eliminate hidden relationship stressors so that practice or homework time will be happier and more productive. After reading Life Lens, you will never see the world in black and white again.
