What is "Suzuki?"

The Suzuki philosophy is a method of instruction that relies on the supportive collaboration of students, teachers, and parents for the success of each student. Similar to how children learn their first language, Suzuki students will master the skills of their instrument through lots of listening and playing from memory.

Where Should I Buy an Instrument?

Students do not need an instrument for the first class. Please consult your masterclass teacher in finding an instrument of the appropriate size and quality to buy or rent.
