About us
Our mission is to provide exceptional musical instruction for children starting age 3. Founded in 2005 in Alexandria, Virginia, we want to impact and inspire children to a lifelong love of music. The ideas of parent responsibility, loving encouragement and constant repetition are some of the special features of the Suzuki approach. Each child learns at their own rate, building on small steps so that each one can be mastered. Children are also encouraged to support each other’s efforts, fostering an attitude of generosity and cooperation.
We provide wide range of services. Our goal is to provide best solution that helps everyone. If you would like to contact us, please call us or fill the contact form on our website.
The Suzuki Method
Shinichi Suzuki was a violinist, educator, philosopher and humanitarian. Born in 1898, he studied violin in Japan for some years before going to Germany in the 1920s for further study. After the end of World War II, Dr. Suzuki devoted his life to the development of the method he calls Talent Education.
Suzuki based his approach on the belief that “Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed. Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability, just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited.”
Dr. Suzuki’s goal was not simply to develop professional musicians, but to nurture loving human beings and help develop each child’s character through the study of music.
