What is Suzuki Bridges?

Designed for little ones in Pre-K and Kindergarten, Suzuki Bridges prepares students to enter our immersive, world-class Suzuki Instrumental Program. It provides the perfect bridge between the movement and singing of early childhood classes and choosing an instrument. 

Taught by early childhood magician Shayna Dulberger, Suzuki Bridges taps into music theory games and frequent hands-on violin, cello, piano, double bass, flute and guitar demonstrations by special guests, while also supporting skills like turn-taking, focusing and sharing to pave the way for success in our instrumental program! 

Please note: In keeping with the Suzuki approach, parents/caregivers are expected to attend and participate in each lesson with their little ones, attend two Parent Education Evenings, and complete readings and occasional assignments outside of class time.

First-year Suzuki Instrumental Program students age five and under are also welcome participants, and receive a 50% discount as fully enrolled private lesson BKCM students.
