SUZUKI GROUP CLASSES
"Beautiful tone, beautiful heart." - Shinichi Suzuki
Violin group classes are offered to students in Suzuki Books 1-3.  Children are nurtured in a supportive and positive environment as they enjoy musical games and performance opportunities. Elements of Paul Rolland Pedagogy and Alexander Technique are included to encourage freedom of movement and healthy playing.  Learning together, group classes not only encourage musical growth, but the development of the whole child.
ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE GROUP CLASSES FOR VIOLINISTS AND VIOLISTS
A small group setting
Enjoy coming together to learn tools for self-care, while also improving everything from tone production to posture and performance anxiety. Explore how the Alexander Technique can help us release unwanted tension, avoid injury, and play to our fullest potential.
