Alert Driven Communications Management for Children Music Learning Based on Suzuki Method

It is widely believed that parents’ involvement in students’ music learning is vital to their success. Shinichi Suzuki not only provided teachers with useful and logical teaching skills, but also stressed on the importance of the parents as a “home teacher”. To enhance the interactions among parents, students, and teachers as well as encourage parental participation, this paper proposes a Web 2.0 learning platform (WASSAP) with an Alert Management System (AMS) as a solution to tackle problems of busy parents who do not have adequate time to involve in students’ music learning. The system can facilitate busy parents to pay more attention to students’ learning progress, with the AMS managing the underlining communication among various parties involved.
