The Program

Everyone is welcome and nurtured by the Suzuki community. Ideology that aims to dehumanize is not compatible with Suzuki Philosophy and is not welcome in our studio.

Method & Philosophy

The Suzuki Philosophy is a method that educates children in the same way they learn to speak their native language. Through immersion, listening, observation, repetition, and positive encouragement—all within a nurturing community environment. Talent is not an inherited genetic trait. Suzuki pedagogy believes that children can be educated to become talented, if provided the right environment. Our goal is to help each child realize their own maximum potential.
