Are parents required to attend each private and group class with their child?
Yes. In keeping with one of the main components of the Suzuki philosophy and our Suzuki approach, parents are required to attend every class and lesson and are encouraged to learn as much about the instrument and the material as possible. Your participation will help to keep your child motivated and excited about his/her musical education. Q: My child is really excited about starting the instrument. How soon will s/he actually begin to play? A: You and your child should expect to actually play the instrument only after approximately 3 weeks of instruction. Before one can begin to play a note, there is information that needs to be learned as a foundation of classical music instruction. Embracing the ability to be silent, developing focused concentration; excellent posture and refined listening skill are prerequisite to learning how to experience the soul through musical expression.
