The Suzuki Strings program includes instrumental study of violin, viola, and cello with teachers who have been specially trained in the Suzuki Method. Individual lessons are taught in 30, 45, and 60-minute sessions and include a weekly, 50-minute group class as part of the tuition. Group lessons are a key part of the Suzuki program. They are grouped by instrument and level. See the links at left for the group class schedule. Please read the Group Class Attendance Policy.
New Suzuki students and parents learn ways to reinforce instruction at home by participating in Suzuki Strings 101. Hochstein welcomes and encourages parents of prospective students to observe lessons and group classes before enrolling in the program.

Suzuki Parent Education
Because parents play such a vital role in the process of learning through the Suzuki method, Hochstein provides guidance and support through periodic parent education classes throughout the school year. Suzuki parent education is a requirement of the program, and is included in the general Suzuki fees. See Suzuki Strings 101.
