A special component of the Suzuki Method is shared learning in group classes. Children meet in a class with other children their own age, playing the same instrument at the same Suzuki book level. Group classes provide students with the opportunity to review repertoire they’ve learned and to perform in front of their peers. They are also are also the only regular opportunity most students have to learn to play with live piano accompaniment. Learning happens much more quickly when children are allowed to watch and play with others. In addition to group lessons reinforcing what is being taught in the private lesson, they also provide a motivating social environment. While forming lifelong friendships, children grow their interest in music!

STEP's group class season runs  from September - April. Each season consists of 18 weeks of group classes, plus performances. All group classes take place on Saturday mornings at Memorial University's School of Music.

Unique to STEP, our students also follow a Musicianship curriculum in addition to the Suzuki repertoire. Developed by our own faculty members, Musicianship is an interactive class teaching music theory designed especially for string players!
