Dr. Tio has been teaching Sacred Heart students for several years and this fall we are happy to have her back teaching on campus. She will be offering weekly piano lessons on Thursdays and Fridays starting at the end of September. Dr. Tio uses the Suzuki method of teaching which is described below. A mandatory Parent Orientation for all new piano students will be scheduled for late September. Lesson Fees: $297 Dates: Thursdays, October 27 – December 8 (6 weeks) Time: (30 or 45 minute lessons) Lessons are offered from 3:30-6:00pm To find out about open times contact Brenda Asare or Christine Tio (Chr_tio@yahoo.com) Suzuki Method: The Suzuki method is by far the most effective approach for nurturing and developing the musical ability of a child from a very young age. Based on Suzuki's "mother language" philosophy, very young children learn to play the piano through their senses after listening to recordings and observing how other children learn. A cooperative relationship between teacher, parent and student is essential for a successful learning process. A parent is expected to be present at the child's lesson and receive training as a practice partner to the child. As a result, Suzuki parents and children are often known to build strong parent-child bonds which would be treasured for a lifetime.
