Divisions
Sudbury Suzuki School
For students aged 3-10The Sudbury Suzuki School has been established within SSMC to focus on teaching children as early as 4 years old. Our faculty are specialists in teaching the Suzuki Approach receiving formal training by the Suzuki Association of America. This approach is often called the “Mother Tongue” approach by learning the instrument as children learn a language: by ear and watching (called modelling). Each week the student has a private lesson and a group class where they get to play with other students in a super fun environment developing social skills, improving attention span, and learning from and with each other.
