About Us

The Oakville Suzuki Association (OSA) is a non-profit organization, committed to providing first-class music instruction across seven instruments: violin, viola, cello, flute, piano, guitar and double bass.

The OSA is a community of parents and teachers, who work together to create positive music experiences, both through lessons and in performance opportunities.

The Suzuki Method relies on a number of principals that distinguish it from other music lessons:

• parental involvement (taking notes in lessons, volunteering at events)
• regular performance opportunities (students perform throughout the year, not just at year-end recitals)
• repetition and learning to play by ear (children first learn by ear and later learn to read music)
• group lessons (where possible, students take part in group lessons, in addition to private ones)
