One of the greatest advantages of the Suzuki method of learning is the opportunity for students to learn and grow together through group classes. When children meet regularly to play the same music, they are motivated and inspired by one another. Group class is fun – just ask our students!
At the beginning of the year, students are organized into classes according to their level of play. Together they work on pieces for upcoming concerts and events; they work in tandem with the material covered by private teachers.
"I like group class because the teachers make it fun." – Emily, 12
“I like that you get to play with your friends.” – Stephie, 12
