Master Teacher
Caroline Fraser. 
Offering the Every Child Can Course, Suzuki Piano Books 1, 2, 3 & 5,  the Practicum Course, Books 1 & 2 Refresher Courses AND three Enrichment courses, we hope to provide an immersion of the Suzuki Philosophy here on our beautiful campus of Holy Names University in the month of July.  There are opportunities for teachers to receive training, parents to enhance their understanding of the Suzuki philosophy and children to experience the wonderful teaching of Caroline Fraser. 




“Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart.”
--Dr. Suzuki
