How To Begin
"The heart that feels music will feel people" -Dr. Shinichi Suzuki
Due to caring for a precious family member, lessons are now only online. If you are interested in lessons for your child in the comfort of your home, schedule to sample an online lesson. ($37.00 for 30 min./per consultation and lesson) This gives you an opportunity to observe the interaction between teacher, student, and parent to decide if the program is right for you before registering to take lessons. It also allows you time to set up a fine foundation for your child's studies by getting the needed materials.
Suggested reading in preparation for observation:
-Nurtured by Love by Dr. Shinichi Suzuki
-Ability Development From Age Zero by Dr. Shinichi Suzuki
-Sensibility And Education by Haruko Kataoka
-Beyond the Music Lesson: Habits of Successful Suzuki Families by Christine Goodner

Please take time to read over the studio policies with care. This allows the studio to run smoothly meaning that my time, energy and attention can be focused on teaching and encouraging your children. To register, fill out and send the following information: Registration Form.
