Program overview
Students enrolled with Suzuki Strings of Madison participate in private lessons with one of our faculty along with group lessons or an ensemble session.
Private Lessons
Each student is paired with a faculty member for weekly private, 1-on-1 instruction. Here, students learn the fundamentals of their instrument, and parents learn how to best help their child. This relationship is a cornerstone of the Suzuki Method.
Scheduling is arranged with the faculty member, and tuition is paid directly to the instructor.
Group Lessons
In these classes, children continue to develop their technique, learn solo performance skills, and practice ensemble skills by playing their instruments together. In addition, foundations for music reading are introduced through Dalcroze Eurythmics and continued in music theory and note reading classes.
Students attend group classes once a week.
Play-Ins
During a Play In, all Suzuki Strings students play together. Families often socialize during and after the Play In, and it’s a time for students at all levels to mingle and develop ensemble skills together.
Play In happens monthly during the regular group lesson times. Participation is included with a student’s tuition.
Concerts and Recitals
Throughout the year, Suzuki Strings of Madison engages with our community through music. From recitals to informal public performances and formal concerts, our students share their talents with the greater Madison area and beyond.
