Iveta uses Suzuki's principles to guide her own violin teaching methods. In particular, Iveta believes that learning to play the violin as an instrument is just the first step to being able to play music.

Being bilingual in English and Czech, Iveta knows that learning the language of music is very similar to learning any other new language. With sufficient effective practice, students can become as skilled at playing the violin as at speaking their own language.
