Suzuki philosophy states that every child can develop musical ability. Children begin study at an early age since initial learning takes place through listening and the development of the ear and memory. Attention is given to tone, expression and the technique to achieve them. Parental involvement in lessons/classes/home practice is essential to the child’s success.

PRIVATE AND GROUP SUZUKI LESSONS
FOR CHILDREN
Suzuki students register for a weekly private lesson. Parent attends each lesson. Violin and cello students also register for a group class at the appropriate level. Private lessons focus on mastery of the instrument, while group classes develop ensemble skills needed for orchestral playing. With permission of the instructor, parent and child may share a semi-private lesson in which both learn to play the instrument.
PRIVATE LESSONS: (14 sessions)
Section 10 30-minute lessons $375
Section 11 45-minute lessons $550
Section 12 60-minute lessons $730
