The Arabic Translation

The translation was a personal initiative by Dr. Mohsen Edward, aiming to spread Suzuki’s philosophy and make it more accessible for Egyptians and the wider Arabic-speaking world— serving both parents and teachers.

The Arabic edition was revised by Dr. Osman El Mahdy and Dr. Mona Fikry, who also contributed an appendix outlining the development of the Suzuki Method in Egypt up to the year 2000.
