Suzuki Piano and Suzuki Violin (ages 3+)
Dr. Shin’ichi Suzuki’s program of instruction is based on the belief that children learn to play musical instruments as naturally as they learn to speak. This “Mother-tongue Method” of teaching recognizes the unlimited potential in every child.
Children are encouraged to learn music by listening and imitation, repetition, and receiving praise and encouragement in a positive learning environment both at home and in class. Students learn by listening and repetition of basic skills before printed music reading is introduced.
Please contact the Registration Office for private lesson rates
Instructors: Karin Fehlauer (piano and violin) and Gwyneth Jones (violin)
