3½ to 18 years | The Suzuki Method seeks to instill ease and confidence in students before they tackle the academic understanding of music. Therefore, Suzuki students begin instruction by learning by ear. When age-appropriate, all Suzuki students learn to read music just as in traditional methods. Suzuki instruction is appropriate for children as young as age 3½, depending on the child’s development, the instrument, and instructor review. Violin, viola, and cello are offered in Milford. Young students are interviewed prior to approval and may be encouraged to enroll in the Early Childhood & Suzuki-track Prelude Program to prepare for future Suzuki study. All Suzuki faculty are highly trained in the Suzuki Method and are registered through the Suzuki Association of the Americas.

Tuition for the Milford Branch Suzuki Academy includes private study, mandatory weekly group and musicianship classes, orchestras, student recital participation (including piano accompaniment fees), Suzuki Academy workshops and events, Philosophy Overview for New Parents, and elective participation in applicable ensembles. Materials must be purchased separately.

PLEASE NOTE: the dates above are a placeholder only. The schedule will be determined based on student and faculty availability.
