SUZUKI PROGRAM
How lucky that we found the SPCM! ...The instructors amazingly match high
standards and excellence with great enthusiasm and care for these young children. By coaching me, as a parent, to be a good practice partner for my child, I
have shared hours and hours of work and effort with my child...On the outside,
my daughter’s grown from a darling three year old with a pretend Kleenex-box violin to a tall seven year old who relishes the fast, tricky songs in mid-Book 2. On
the inside,she’s become someone who cares surprisingly deeply about music.

As part of our vibrant and thriving Suzuki community, your child will experience learning in a nurturing, supportive and spirited environment where high expectations are balanced with joyfulness and FUN. Utilizing the proven techniques of Dr. Shinichi Suzuki’s
“Talent Education” Method, children as young as three years-old learn their instrument
through a combination of private lessons, weekly group classes, group recitals, solo recitals, and workshops with world-renowned guest instructors.
SPCM Suzuki teachers are committed to developing expressive talent right from the start.
Technique, balance, and proper form are emphasized in the beginning stages so that the
player has their heart invested in musical expression. One parent attends all lessons and
practices at home with their child. The parent is responsible for setting up a home environment which promotes and nurtures the development of their child’s talent. The parent
must commit to making music a part of everyday life through daily practice, listening to
Suzuki recordings daily, and listening to recordings of other fine music.
Suzuki group classes are essential to the process and are an opportunity for children
to learn with and benefit from their peers. Group classes also provide community and
support for parents. Music reading classes are part of the curriculum as SPCM Suzuki
teachers are committed to excellence and competency in music reading and music theory.
Group Classes also offer students an opportunity to explore music outside the Suzuki
literature and other styles such as jazz, blues, ethnic music and fiddling.
SUZUKI STRING PROGRAM
