Lessons

Free Information Meeting
I’d be happy to meet with new parents and students interested in participating in the Suzuki music learning method.  I will explain the Suzuki Philosophy as taught to me by leading trainers Caroline Fraser and Mary Craig Powell, address concerns you may have regarding the Suzuki Method, cover the basic responsibilities of a Suzuki teacher, parent, and student, and discuss my personal methods of working with each family to achieve the goal of a positive music learning experience. 

Free First Lesson
First lessons will be free.  For young students, depending on the age and experience of the child, I may choose to teach this lesson to the parent.  It is recommended for interested participants to meet with me for the Free Information Meeting prior to taking the first lesson.
