Pathways to Suzuki

Just like our STEP Into Suzuki program, but for students starting ages 8 and up!  Includes a 30-minute weekly group class for students starting on violin or cello.  Open to families who are new to the program.  Students must be minimum 8+ years of age, and STEP will assist in registering students with one of our private teachers for weekly lessons (separate cost).

Classes (grouped by age and experience) use games and activities to reinforce the foundation of playing the instrument. The parts of the instrument, handling the instrument, rhythms, and correct posture are reinforced, as well as focusing and listening skills. Parents are initially active participants in the class, but will gradually withdraw to the audience with the teacher’s guidance. This class is a good fit for a complete beginner or a student with approx. 1 year experience or less on their instrument. The level of parent participation as well as the teaching style and content of the class will be tailored to the age and experience level of the students.
