STEP Into Suzuki

Includes a 30-minute weekly group class for students starting on violin or cello.  Open to families who are new to the program, or families who have completed previous Transitions classes.  Students must be minimum 3 years of age, and STEP will assist in registering students with one of our private teachers for weekly lessons (separate cost).   For any students ages 3-6, we also recommend registering for our Music & Movement class!

Classes (grouped by age and experience) use games and activities to reinforce the foundation of playing the instrument. Students learn to be comfortable in a group, to do things together, and to take turns. 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.
