Suzuki Education & Instrument Beginnings


Suzuki EducationAges: 3 – 18 years

More than 50 years ago, Japanese violinist Dr.

Shinichi Suzuki realized that children learn to

speak with ease and applied this principle to

music education. As such, Suzuki students fi rst

learn to play by ear before they are taught how

to read music. Parents & caregivers attend

group classes and lessons to ensure student

success. Conservatory Suzuki faculty have

registered training from the Suzuki Association

of the Americas.

Music Theory

Theory Prep AAges: 8 – 16 years

This level begins with an introduction to the

piano keyboard and how to play any note on

it. With that knowledge, explore the Bass

visualize the musical scale. Learn more about harmony and

structures that composers use when writing music, and try your

hand at writing music yourself! Develop and fi ne-tune your ear

to recognize and be able to reproduce melodies and rhythms.

Classes available at all levels, and a placement exam is offered to

guide you into the correct class.
