The NPSD Suzuki violin program is a unique opportunity for all kindergarten students to learn how to play violin through the Suzuki Method. Learning how to play an instrument encourages higher level thinking, develops the ability to focus, increases memory skills, and builds self-esteem and self-confidence, among many other benefits. The teacher, parent, and student all work together towards the success of the student.

Parent Classes: Parents will be learning the first few songs in the beginning of the book in order to better understand how to help their children learn. You DO NOT need any prior musical experience. You will receive instruction for 4-6 weeks (starting in December or January) to learn how to play the first few songs in the book. Parents are to bring their child to the lesson and have something for them to work on such as a coloring book, etc.

Taking Notes: It is important to take notes during your child's lesson because you will be practicing with your child at home. 

Practicing at Home: Start by setting up a practice routine such as practicing at the same time in the same place each day. When your child see you setting up good practice habits, it will be easier for them to set up good practice habits.

Creating a Box Violin: Directions will be given out at a later date
