Parent Education Classes
Parent education classes are held for several weeks during your first year in the program. These classes are a valuable source of information to assist you in working and learning with your child. These classes will help you get started, know what to expect and how to anticipate and handle problems as they arise. You will also receive elementary technical instruction on your child's instrument (tuning and care) and become part of a support group of other ‘beginner' parents.

Topics covered include; introduction to the program, role of the parent at lessons & home; listening and practice routines; video on Dr. Suzuki's philosophy; instrument care & tuning; important factors in the Suzuki environment; elementary instrument technique; practice ideas; sharing experiences and ideas with other parents; the child's lesson; and note reading.
