about the

suzuki method

Developed by the late Japanese teacher Dr. Shinichi Suzuki, the Suzuki method uses the “mother tongue” approach to learning, based on the ease with which young children learn to speak their first language. Dr. Suzuki discovered that these same principles apply when teaching young children to become fine musicians. This marvelous early childhood approach helps parents create positive musical environments in their homes and guides them in their daily schedule as they help their children learn to play an instrument.

suzuki focus

There are four components of our Suzuki program:

  • Observation

    New families are asked to observe both a private lesson and a group class in their area, or areas, of interest before entering the program.

  • Education

    This program will provide a thorough understanding of the Suzuki philosophy and method of instrumental music teaching.

  • Lessons

    Private lessons focus on developing good playing posture, tone, technique and expression.

  • Group Classes

    In group classes students develop ensemble playing, ear-training, and social skills during singing and rhythm activities, repertoire review, and music reading and music games.

“Music education goes beyond learning scales or beyond learning to read music. It helps kids to be more well-rounded in their education, opening doors to different perspectives and ways of thinking and learning.” - Annette Mozzoni, Director of Education & Music School for the Rhode Island Philharmonic Music School
