In our Suzuki Early Childhood Education program, teachers lead families through a curriculum of songs, rhymes and activities designed to keep children engaged in a calm, focused environment. Taking turns and collaborating on familiar activities, students develop social skills and connection! Teachers make use of various instruments such as the triangle, xylophone, woodblock and drums to enhance and nurture the foundational development of pitch and rhythm necessary to begin private instrumental study when they are older. The occasional guest may even demonstrate an instrument from our Suzuki Instrumental Program!

Our Suzuki Early Childhood Education classes are offered in two 15-week sessions, with rolling admissions. Tuition will be prorated for families joining mid-semester. Families may register one semester at a time.

At the beginning of each semester, new prospective families can sign up for a free Trial Class while space lasts. Call the Registration Desk at 718-622-3300 to inquire about Trial Class availability!

  • Spots are filling up fast, and signing up for a Trial Class does not reserve your spot in the class. Please register to secure your spot in the full semester of classes. 
  • Parents or caregivers must participate in the Trial Class with their child.
