Elefante Music is pleased to announce a brand new program of string instruction in the world-famous "Suzuki Method":
The Suzuki "Pre-Twinkle" Violin class (ages 3-6)!
This is the class that so many of you have been asking us for!
Both the young student (ages 3-6) and his or her parent/caregiver will take part in this wonderful class, led by noted Suzuki instructor Mengwei Shen!
Elefante Music will run 15 weeks of convenient daytime classes on Thursdays from March 6 to June 19. There are FOUR 45-minute class times to choose from: Thursdays 10:15-11:00am;
11:00-11:45am; 12:30-1:15pm; and 1:15-2:00pm
Young beginners start in a group class using a foam violin and other props to practice pre-violin motor skills as well as explore rhythm and pitch through listening, clapping, and singing. Both foam and real violins will be provided for in-class use. As young students learn and demonstrate prerequisite handling skills, parents/caregivers may be advised to begin renting real violins. Violins can be rented at affordable prices right at Elefante Music.
The small group instruction format is an optimal learning situation that suits young attention spans and allows for learning by observation and environment. Instruction for the parent/caregiver is included to support an enjoyable learning environment and to allow the adult to assist in serving as “practice coach” during the week.
