Meet and Greet
Sunday August 10, 2008
1:30 – 3:00 pm
we will accept registration at this time

First day of lessons will begin Sunday August 17.
Ms. Lake will be offering lessons on Sunday afternoons.

Basic Tenets of The Suzuki Method
• Every child can learn an early start (aged 3-4 is normal in most countries)
• Each step of the way must be mastered and maintained
• Listening is of the utmost importance
• Positive parental involvement is crucial
• Music reading is introduced after basic aural and technical skills are established
• learning to play before learning to read
• a nurturing and positive learning environment
• a high standard of teaching by trained teachers
• the importance of producing a good sound in a balanced and natural way
• core repertoire, used by Suzuki students across the world
social interaction with other children: Suzuki students from all over the world can communicate through the language of music

Home Practice
• Practice Time – Parents should practice with the child at home daily. A regular time is most effective. Listening to the Suzuki recording should be done daily.
• Jumping ahead – Never work on more than the assignment. It is often detrimental when a child “goes ahead” without the teacher’s guidance.

Tuition
Lessons are $14.00 per 30 minute lesson
