Class
Descriptions
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. The repertoire list
is in the next section
below.
STRINGS ORCHESTRA 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. Cost
is $40 for the week.
ENRICHMENT - Each participant also
chooses two enrichment classes. This is an opportunity
to learn something new or broaden our experience.
This year’s choices will be: Mariachi*,
Chamber*, Chess, Arts & Crafts, Bucket Brigade,
Choir/Musical Theater, and Dance. Music Mind Games
will also be available for Book 1 students. For
a complete description of classes, visit our Enrichment
page.
*Chamber is available for students at or above
an intermediate reading level.
*Mariachi available for students at or above Etude.

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. Clinicians
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.
