What is SECE?
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 the spring and fall semesters, with rolling admissions. Tuition will be prorated for families joining mid-semester. Families may register one semester at a time.
