Suzuki Program

Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass, Guitar

The Conservatory’s Suzuki program includes both weekly individual instruction as well as group classes. Your child will take 15 weeks of individual instruction at one of the Prospect, Wilson Center or RiverPoint branches. Group classes meet for 10 weeks (40-minutes lessons) at either the Prospect or Wilson Center branches with a concert as the last class. The Suzuki program also includes studio and department recitals, and once a semester parent-teacher conferences. The Suzuki philosophy calls for active parental participation in the child’s lessons and classes, and in their daily practice. Individual lessons (30-min lessons for Book 1 and 2, 45-min lessons for Book 3 and 4) will be scheduled with instructor.

The times listed below are for the group classes (each class runs 40 minutes). Three additional classes are strongly suggested for students in this program: Theory is Fun (for grades 2-8), M&M-Music and Musicians (grades 6-8), and Orchestra Discoveries (grades 3-9). Orchestra Discoveries requires strong note reading skills and is for all string instruments.
