FAQ and Resources
Does paying the Studio Tuition commit me to the whole year?
Nope!
You pay month by month with no commitment for anything past that month.
The tuition is basically the monthly fee you pay for the ability to be part of my private music studio. While I have many ways that I factor exactly how I calculate that, hence the year average, there's no commitment to remain for the whole school year.
What is the Suzuki Method?
The Suzuki philosophy promotes that by creating the right environment and circumstances, all children can learn to play an instrument in a joyful way. By using children's natural ability to listen, imitate, and repeat they both learn an instrument as if it were their native tongue, but also learn vital human skills along the way.
As Dr Suzuki so beautifully said:
“Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart.”

What is Wee Violin?
Wee Violin is a fabulous curriculum made by Crystal Boyack, an experienced Suzuki Teacher. In my studio I use it as a 'Suzuki Book 0'. It slowly and almost sneakily builds technique without the student realizing it, we do lots of singing, moving, dancing and playing during lessons. It does require the parent to be involved in order to support at home.
What is Fiddle Quest?
Fiddle Quest is another program that I frequently use for ear-training students. It has very similar philosophies to the Suzuki Method- strongly encourages ear based training, community involvement, but is also very personalizable to the students needs and goals. It has a wonderful digital interface for students to stay motivated at home and has a very large music community in my local area.
