PCAP Group Suzuki Violin (4 year olds) (Wednesdays)

The Suzuki method of learning violin is known world-wide for its success in teaching a complicated instrument to very young children in a way that is fun and appropriate for this age group. Much of the strength of this method is found in the game-like approach of group lessons and 100% participation of a nurturing parent in the learning process. At PCA, we are happy to bring back this wonderful program for some of our youngest students, taught by the PCAP music teacher and PCA strings teacher, Susie Stevens. All children will need a violin (which can be rented), a parent at every weekly group lesson, and a Suzuki Book 1 with CD. All families who sign up are required to commit for the rest of the year. This can truly be a great investment with life-long rewards!
