Songwriting and Music Theory classes round out our wide range of programs.

Suzuki Philosophy

The core principle of the Suzuki method is the ‘Mother Tongue’ aspect of the philosophy. Suzuki discovered that children could learn to play beautiful music the same way they learned to speak their native language. Given the proper training and environmental conditions, any child may develop a high level of ability.

Parental involvement is an integral component of the method. The ‘Home Teacher’ will be taught the basic information to help the child practice effectively each day. A positive, nurturing environment is encouraged. We are not born with talent; it is something which may be learned.
