Our Suzuki program offers instrumental instruction to children as young as 3 years old to 18 years old in Piano, Violin, Viola and Cello in a warm and nurturing environment. The program is a full school year program that runs for 30 weeks from September through June. The three key elements in our music program-Private Lessons, Group Instrumental Class and Theory Class -create an immersive and a well rounded music education. All students participate in two recitals each year. Recitals is an opportunity for our students to celebrate their accomplishment in skills and musicianship with their peers, parents and the community.
About Suzuki Approach
More than fifty years ago, Shinichi Suzuki, a Japanese violinist and a pedagogue realized the implications of the fact that children allover the world learn to speak their native language with ease. He began applying the basic principles of language acquisition to the learning of music, and called his method the mother-tongue approach. He believed that provided with a nurturing environment in which to thrive and develop, every child can learn the language of music just as they learn to speak the language of their culture. The Suzuki Approach emphasizes; beginning education as early as possible, using immersive and social learning environments, parent participation, loving encouragement and establishing good practice habits through constant repetition and listening to music.

The Three Elements of Our Suzuki Program Private Lesson – The private lesson is a once a week class that involves both student and the parent. In this class the student learns the skills of playing their instrument. Suzuki teachers introduce one skill at a time, and students master and assimilate each skill before advancing. The parent observes the class and gets the instruction on how to follow up at home practice with the child. Every effort the student make is met with encouragement from the teacher and the parent. |

Group Class – It is an essential part of our Suzuki program for motivation and successful learning. Group class is one of the pillars of the Suzuki approach. It provides an unparalleled opportunity for students to share their music with their peers, play musical games, play as an ensemble, and last, but certainly not least, get an extra day a week with a teacher. Children learn from each other. In this class the student has the opportunity to informally perform what they are learning in front of their peers and their parents. It helps build confidence in performing in public.

Theory Class – Music theory helps the performers understand the music that they play. Students start out with learning basic music reading skills in a fun and engaging way. Curriculum in the class expands to writing their own compositions and to analysis of music.
