Beginning Strings
Our TWINKLERS class is designed for students who have achieved proficiency in their instrumental skills, and earned their bow. While still in the early stages of learning their instrument, these students have successfully mastered the basic fundamentals of left hand posture, and are progressing to acquire proficiency in right hand bow technique. Twinklers include violin, viola, cello, or bass. Each class is one-and-a-half hours and meets for nine Saturdays with our Suzuki Registered Specialists.
Twinklers
Advanced Beginning Strings
After your child completes one session of Beginning Strings, they are ready for Advanced Beginning Strings (ABS). Our Suzuki Specialists continue the development of these young players’ technique and introduce music reading skills. There are various ability levels of ABS classes each session, allowing staff to group children by their present skillsets. Thus, most students will take two or three sessions of ABS.
Intermediate Strings Ensemble
Upon the mastering of Suzuki Book 1 and the completion of Essential Elements, Book 1 , a student may register for Intermediate Strings Ensemble (ISE). ISE is a strings-only orchestra for children and youth who can read and play multi-part music. Students will continue working on Suzuki Book 2 repertoire and music reading in Essential Elements Book 2 , as needed, while preparing one or two ensemble pieces. Maximum enrollment is 25 players.
