The Suzuki Method is recognized worldwide as a highly effective approach for teaching children the language of music. The curriculum incorporates three elements that provide the essentials needed for instrumental music education: private lessons, theory classes, and group classes. Parent involvement is an integral component of the Suzuki approach. Parents learn and practice alongside the child, functioning as role models and providing encouragement. Generations of students have begun a lifelong journey of musical enrichment through this approach. The Suzuki program at the Conservatory offers programs in violin, viola, piano, cello, guitar and bass.
Suzuki is an annual program which requires a full-year commitment.
Enrollment follows a three- stage process which begins in January, and includes a required Parent Orientation, Observation, and an Intake Interview.
