Early Childhood Programs
The Suzuki Early Childhood Music program is a small group music class for children. There are three age groups: 0-3, 0-6 and 3-6 years children. One parent or one caregiver accompanies each child in the class. Children actively learn about beat, rhythm and pitch in a fun atmosphere while sampling all that music has to offer.
The 0-3 years, 0-6 years and 3-6 years programs are lots of fun and allow the children to interact and learn with (and from) each another.
