Quality Music Education for All Students 2016-2017 Academic Year Offerings Thank you for your interest in the TSSM! We offer Suzuki lessons in violin, viola, cello, flute, harp, piano and composition. All of our teachers are professional musicians who have made a commitment to teach the ideas of Dr. Suzuki. Please look through our offerings! If you have any questions, or to enroll in private lessons and group classes, complete a registration form and return it to the address listed. PRIVATE LESSONS Suzuki-style lessons are available for violin, viola, cello, piano, flute, harp and composition. Whether you are a beginning student, a beginning adult or you just want to improve your skills, our teachers can help you. Select instruments will allow students as young as 3 to begin private study. Private lessons are offered in 30, 45 and 60 minute sessions. Students enroll for the school year which starts in September. Tuition will be prorated for those joining later in the year. Please fill out the attached registration form and submit it along with your lesson placement fee ($25) to the address listed. Private lessons are taught at the Professional Building at 1838 Parkwood Avenue in Toledo. String students do not need to procure an instrument before lessons start. Piano students should have access to a high quality keyboard for daily practice. Parents play a very important role in Suzuki studies.
