Nevada School of the Arts Nevada School of the Arts has been a long-time advocate of musical instruction using their philosophy of Suzuki Talent Education. It is now available in the area of violin, viola, cello, flute and piano.

Children learn their native language with ease at a very young age.
The Suzuki Talent Education Program is based on the assumption that all humans are born with a high potenitial for development. Initially, Dr. Suzuki developed his approach by teaching very young violin students. The parent is an integrated part of the process and attends all lessons thereby learning how to be the home teacher and support the child through the week. Nevada School of the Arts has hosted in Las Vegas several of Dr. Suzuki's Talent Education groups of Japanese students who have come to the United States to perform, as well as numerous nationally and internationally known Suzuki clinicians. Suzuki musical instruction can begin as early as age 3.
