Intro to Music Classes for 3 1/2 -7 Years Old

“Long term commitment to music involves so many ingredients including passion for music: both playing and listening to music, family enjoyment and encouragement, and a sense of curiosity, perseverance, and joy through the process.” said Janet Kuester, director of The Music Connection.

“For many of our best music students, it seems that many of them “knew” already that they loved music and wanted to make music.” she continued. “Often their parents will come to us saying: “I know my child is musical already. “ “

“Other students who blossom come because Mom or Dad have decided that a music education and proficiency on a musical instrument is something they want their child to have.”

So both groups of students and parents really love the class “Intro to Suzuki”.

The class meets for 4-45 minute sessions. Parents and children meet together. Over the 4 weeks four instruments are viewed: piano, violin, cello and guitar. There are activities involving each of the instruments. Students also experience pre-reading activities with rhythm, ear training, and note-reading which help parents understand the Suzuki method of talent education used to teach the young child to play music.

Parents are introduced to the Suzuki philosophy of talent education: all people have music ability that can be nurtured and developed through diligent habits and positive reinforcement with each step of learning and motivational fun practice and activity.

Classes are offered year round. Frankfort session is on Tuesday from 6:00-6:45PM and Saturday session is 10:15-11:00am in Orland Park.

The cost of the 4 week session is $80. To enroll for Intro to Suzuki class, visit the website, www.theconnection2music.com or call 708-364-7590 or 815-464-4434.
