Pre-Twinkle --An early introduction to the violin. Since attention spans are short and fine motor skills are limited at this age, our main focus is to have FUN! An important part of the Suzuki approach is listening. We will listen to recordings of Suzuki music in class and practice music identification skills. We will also work on the proper position, on respect for the instrument, and playing basic open-string songs. Parents assist and act as the teacher during daily home practice.

Twinkle --This is a 2 year program designed for beginning violin students. Based on the teachings of Shinichi Suzuki, the group class works on music reading, ear training, proper position, and playing mechanics. The key to this program is the interaction and involvement between the student, teacher and parent. Parents assist and act as the teacher during daily home practice. Child and parents do not need prior musical experience. After completion of the program, students are ready to move on to more advanced private lessons to further develop their skills.

This program is open to students with some musical instrumental or vocal experience. Students are encouraged to create original songs. Musical experience and evaluation required.

Studying music theory, along with practicing an instrument reinforces the concepts learned during private lessons.
Music theory, when coupled with instrument practice, will provide the student with the skills necessary to understand music better as well as to learn new pieces faster, and with less strain.
Theory lessons will include basic music concepts, reading sheet music, the study of rhythm and much, much more.

A musical adventure with Mozart Mouse and Beethoven Bear! This class introduces the student to rhythm, percussion and song. This is a fabulous class for pre-schoolers to get a feel and understanding of the different instruments and how they are played (as well as how they sound). It also teaches the child to sing along to music, as well as a wonderful early introduction to our classic greats.
