Private and Group Lesson Information
Students receive a private lesson once a week. Group lessons meet weekly, with advanced students also forming ensembles. In the private lesson, students learn the basic technique of playing the
violin or viola. In the group lesson, students learn how to play together with other people. Advanced
students refine note reading skills and become familiar with Chamber Music.
I have observed over the years that students who come to the private and group lessons easily move more than twice as fast thru the literature as those who only attend the private lessons. The quality and fluency of their playing increases by being in groups and listening to the CDs. Parents who follow Dr. Suzuki's recommendations save much money and time because their children will move more quickly, willingly and competently thru each book.
Location
I teach private and group lessons out of my home in Kirkland. Students come from Bellevue, Bothell, Juanita, Totem Lake, Woodinville, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Redmond Ridge, Issaquah and Renton.
Before Covid I was I was also commuting to teach at the ISKCON Temple in Sammamish. They have yet to reopen the Temple for music classes.

Performances
Approximately four concerts a year are given in various locations in order to be fun for the kids. So far we have performed at Benaroya Hall, Libraries, Churches, Schools, Ferries, Fairs, Farms, and State Parks.
Concerts may include any combination of Suzuki Repertoire, Classical Literature, Chamber Music, Holiday Music, and Celtic Fiddle Music.
Students demonstrate both memorization and note reading abilities. Once a year, we perform in a very
formal concert with many other Suzuki Teachers. Our outdoor concerts are very informal and fun.
