Suzuki Stings
Suzuki Strings: Oh – why, Japanese children can all speak Japanese!" "In
fact, all children throughout the world speak their native tongues with the
utmost fluency." This observation by Shinichi Suzuki prompted him to create the
Suzuki Violin Method. It was his conviction that all children are born with an
innate ability, if only it is properly nurtured and trained, that can enable
them to be successful at anything. His method sparks this ability and teaches
us how to establish a positive environment in which children can thrive. By
using the violin as a medium, every child can learn to play at a high level, but
he will also discover endless possibilities in himself as a successful person.

Traditional Violin Lessons
Traditional instruction varies from Suzuki lessons in that students can begin at
an older age, are more independent in their practice responsibilities, and learn
to read music sooner in their musical development. Traditional lessons are
suited best for students that will be in an orchestra before middle or high
school, more advanced students who are looking to take lessons to help them
develop their technique, or adult students who want try something new.
Students can study a wide range of music from fiddle, to classical, to folk, to
religious, and everything in between.
Suzuki Strings starts with private lessons with the instructor. Cost is a flat
rate of $80.00 per month. Once students move forward in the
program the instructor will set up group lessons. Group lesson fees may vary.
Please contact us for more information.
All Suzuki Strings fees
are paid to the Kenosha
Conservatory of Music on a
monthly basis due before the 7th day of each new month..
