Instructor: Marlene Carr Suzuki Piano and 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. Instructors: Karin Fehlauer, piano and violin Gwyneth Jones, violin

As one of the basic concepts of the Suzuki method, group lessons will prove invaluable in your child’s musical growth.
