Individual lessons

• Individual lessons once a week. A parent attends the lesson prepared to take notes. At the end of each lesson the teacher can answer questions and explain what the student and parent will practice in the coming week.

• The parent has the notes to refer to during the daily practice. It is recommended that one parent regularly attend lessons and practice with the student. This promotes a strong parent-teacher - child relationship that builds consistency.

Group lessons

• Group lessons are an integral part of the Suzuki method. They create a musical community for students and parents, developing friendships, musical bonds and a sense of the greater musical world.

• Skills such as ensemble playing, following a leader/teacher, technique, ear training, rhythm and much more are taught in group lesson. In addition to private lessons, group lessons give students an opportunity to perform and socialize with other violinists at their level.

Suzuki Institute

• Institute is a week long summer program dedicated to teaching and enriching Suzuki students. Parents must attend with their students and have an opportunity to spend time with their student and other Suzuki parents. Institutes are held across the US and Canada throughout the summer including one in Atlanta.

• Typical daily classes include a semi-private lesson, repertoire class, technique class and rhythm and movement class- all at the student’s level. Older students have opportunities for orchestra, chamber music and other additional classes. Attending recitals is an enjoyable daily event. Institute begins with a Play-In for all students and culminates with a final concert in which each level of students perform.
