Additional Class Information
MASTER CLASS provides an individual lesson with a master teacher. There are 3-4 students per class and the class time is shared. Students should come prepared to present a polished piece during the first class. When it is not their turn, they will observe the other student lessons. Parents are expected to attend this class with their student to take notes, observe and help their student prepare for the next day’s classes.
TECHNIQUE a group class that provides an opportunity for students to improve tone, intonation, bowing, vibrato and shifting depending on their level.**
REPERTOIRE provides an ensemble experience playing the Suzuki repertoire. Music from the repertoire list should be memorized.**
STRINGS ORCHESTRA/ENSEMBLE provides an opportunity to sight read and follow a conductor. You will be placed in the orchestra most suited to your reading level. Traditional string students who are not attending Institute for the full day, may wish to participate on an “Enrichment Only” basis (please use registration form to register).
ENRICHMENT. Each participant also is enrolled in two enrichment classes depending on age and book level. This is an opportunity to learn something new or broaden our experience.
**Note: The Suzuki Institute experience relies upon a deep and thorough knowledge of all learned repertoire. Students are strongly encouraged to review all of the books they have studied and to be well prepared with any previously learned piece in the Suzuki repertoire. Instructors will choose freely from pieces in the Suzuki sequence when working with both the technique and repertoire classes. Your institute experience will be much more satisfying if you review and polish in the months before Institute.
