The Suzuki program at NCMC is a community within a community.
The Suzuki method can be applied effectively to students of any age, but most participants at NCMC can begin between the ages of 4 and 10 because the initial learning takes place through listening rather than reading.
The method incorporates a rounded
educational approach:
-
Nurturing a Love of Music!
-
Listening & Learning Proper Intonation
-
Development of Posture & Motor Skills
-
Private Lessons
-
Group Classes
-
Ensemble Performances
Parent education and participation is essential to the progress of the child and requires a serious commitment of time and energy. Both parent and child attend a weekly private lesson, practice and listen together daily at home, attend regular group playing classes, and participate in public performances and special events.
Further reading about the philosophies of Dr. Shinichi Suzuki are available from the NCMC office and from the Suzuki Association of the Americas website.
