Suzuki Early Childhood Education
UPDATE, Spring 2024:
SECE classes have been on hiatus since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but I hope to begin classes again in either the summer or fall of 2024.
During the hiatus, the SECE class curriculum was revised, and the next SECE class session will include these revisions.

Join us as we sing, dance, drum and rhyme! Lay a foundation for lifelong joy in music with this mixed-age, music and movement class. SECE class is designed for babies and toddlers (birth up to 3 yrs & 11 mo) to experience alongside an adult caregiver. Expecting parents are also welcome!
A parent, auntie or uncle, nanny, grandparent or family friend is welcome to participate in this class as your child's caregiver and partner in making music - no prior musical experience necessary.

ListenCome join our circle as we listen to the beautiful melodies of Mozart... No words needed as we walk inside, barefoot (or sockfoot!) to play together.
Calm, nurturing, music-centered, parent-and-me activities. Welcome to quality learning time with your child - welcome to Suzuki Early Childhood Education. More... |
PlayDo you hear the bells moving from high to low? Let's move up and down together!
We invite you to take a turn leading the class by playing clear, ringing tones on our glockenspiel. Enjoy the rich, clean sounds of quality percussion instruments as you move your whole body to the music. More... |
MoveHear the sound of the drum, and march, march, march! When the drum stops, we stop too. Students take turns bouncing the beater in the center of the drum for a full, resonant tone that everyone can follow!
Side by side, set your child up for success with the loving guidance of a trained, experienced teacher. More... |
Preview what's just ahead...
Our mixed-age classes purposely place younger students in an environment where they can observe and learn from older ones.
Don't know what to do yet? Watch and learn... Older students learn gentleness, patience and role modeling skills as they lead the younger ones. |
...But our older students aren't just leaders for the younger ones. As they master the SECE class skills, they also get their own previews of possible "next steps".
SECE skills are a rock-solid foundation for learning the violin - or any other musical instrument! |
