ABSTRACT The Suzuki method has been used in the Atteridgeville community by two teachers since 2008 to teach the violin at two children’s homes. In using the method, the teachers realised that the needs and circumstances of the students in the Atteridgeville community music programmes led to a natural adaptation of the method. The purpose of this intrinsic case study is to explain the adaptation of the Suzuki method by the two teachers, Babette and Jane, in two community music programmes in Atteridgeville, Pretoria. Data were collected through interviews, observation and photographs, and the data were organised by means of ATLAS.ti 7. The data were analysed by using Susanne Friese’s NCT (Noticing, Collecting, Thinking) model. The six themes that emerged from the data were: 1) Applied Suzuki characteristics; 2) Socio-economic context; 3) Teacher as parent; 4) Student as parent; 5) Making provision for a large number of students; and 6) Challenges of introducing note reading. Suzuki teachers worldwide could benefit from this research by deciding whether – and if so, how – the results from this study are transferrable to their unique communities and contexts.

调整Suzuki方法以适应南非Atteridgeville的两个社区音乐节目

摘要自2008年以来，两位教师已在Atteridgeville社区使用Suzuki方法在两个儿童之家教小提琴。在使用该方法时，教师意识到在Atteridgeville社区音乐课程中学生的需求和情况导致了该方法的自然适应。本内在案例研究的目的是解释在比勒陀利亚阿特里奇维尔的两个社区音乐节目中，两位老师巴贝特和简对铃木方法的改编。通过访谈，观察和照片收集数据，并通过ATLAS.ti 7整理数据。使用Susanne Friese的NCT（引语，收集，思考）模型对数据进行分析。从数据中出现的六个主题是：1）铃木的应用特征；2）社会经济背景；3）老师为父母；4）学生为父母；5）为大量学生提供经费；6）引入笔记阅读的挑战。全世界的铃木老师可以通过确定这项研究的结果是否可以（如果可以的话）如何转移到他们独特的社区和环境中来从这项研究中受益。
