Transactional analysis (TA) game theory, specifically the Drama Triangle (Karpman, 1968), is used to analyze and suggest interventions for solving problems that can occur in the Suzuki string teaching triad (teacher, student, and parent). A brief discussion of the Suzuki philosophy and method of teaching is included along with a discussion of some of the similarities between this method and TA.
