The Conservatory of Music is proud to offer Suzuki violin instruction. The information on this page will hopefully answer questions you may have about this method, and help you determine if it is a fit for your family.


What is the Suzuki method?

The Suzuki method was created by Japanese violinist Shinichi Suzuki, who believed that every child can learn to play a musical instrument. Just like when a young child is learning their native language, the Suzuki method uses repetition, loving encouragement, and parental involvement to teach children how to make music.

Group Classes

In addition to their weekly lesson, students also learn together through Group Classes. Since all students use the same graded curriculum, they can easily combine to motivate and learn from each other. These classes are a fun way to build community and strengthen what each student has learned individually.

Parent Involvement

Another aspect of the Suzuki method is the Suzuki Triangle, where the teacher, parent, and student are all involved throughout the learning process. Parents attend the weekly lessons with their child, and are able to reinforce at home what is learned in the lesson.

Group classes will bi-weekly on Friday afternoons. Specific class times will be available soon. To download the 2023-2024 Suzuki calendar, click here.
