The Suzuki Method is founded on the premise that all children are born with potential talent. Dr. Shinichi Suzuki noticed the ease with which young children learn to speak their native language. The cornerstone of a successful Suzuki program is creating a cooperative relationship between teacher, parent and student. Children as young as three years old may begin instrument study.
Parents attend all lessons and classes and work with the student at home each day.
The four Suzuki orchestras provide unique opportunities for students to experience the satisfaction and challenges of ensemble performance. As a community music school, MacPhail also offers a variety of class and ensemble experiences that can enhance a student's Suzuki training. This discount applies when one student in the family is enrolled for at least three hours of individual or Suzuki instruction during the same semester as the class being discounted. There are no openings in piano and bass. When families have been placed with an instructor, parents must register for the Suzuki Parent Workshop.
