Suzuki Method Violin & Viola Instruction
Individual & Group Repertory Class
The individual lesson is at the heart of the Suzuki Method. Every student has their own weekly lesson, where progress is made at each individual child’s own pace.
Group Class is a vital extension of the individual lesson. Here, children with a common repertoire, come together to learn to play in ensemble
Early Childhood Program
Children ages 0 to young 3 year olds participate in the Suzuki Early Childhood Education (ECE) class, also called the Baby Class.
Children age 3 to young 4 year olds participate in a special, small ECE class where individual attention from both parent and teacher is present.
Suzuki Parent’s Class
Parents are a child’s most important teacher! In Catherine Whelan’s Studio each new parent attends a ten-hour Suzuki Parent Education Course at some time during the first year of participation.
Community Outreach and Performance Opportunities
The Suzuki Strings takes music to the community. Group classes also present recitals every semester.
