Suzuki School of Newton
About
The Suzuki School of Newton is a nonprofit community arts organization offering a Suzuki music program for students of all ages and a full-day, integrated arts preschool. Its music classes run from newborns through high school, with instruction in violin, viola, cello, piano, flute, guitar, harp and voice. Guided by the Suzuki philosophy, the school holds that every child can learn to sing or play an instrument given a nurturing environment and expert teachers, and it aims to develop character through music study.
Most students enroll in the Core Program, which combines a weekly private lesson, a weekly group class, a weekly musicianship class and regular solo recitals, mainly for children 5 and up. Younger children start with Early Beginners classes or pre-instrumental Suzuki Early Childhood and Suzuki Prep classes built on songs and movement. The preschool blends academics, daily music instruction in singing, piano and violin, and cultural lessons on the customs and traditions of many nations.
