ESM Suzuki Sprouts
Introduction
Suzuki Early Childhood Education (SECE) is a curriculum that promotes a love of music and learning. Children have an unlimited capacity to care, share, and learn. We believe that learning music should be a joyful experience. Our approach to teaching is based on the philosophy of Dr. Shinichi Suzuki 一 that talent can be taught and every child can learn. SECE focuses on a child’s natural delight in learning and aims to develop the abilities and natural potential of each child through listening, modeling, encouragement, repetition, and parental involvement.
About Suzuki Sprouts
Through songs, rhymes, and activities, our Suzuki Sprouts program will introduce your child to skills that will help develop their musical ear, language, focus, physical coordination, social skills, and confidence. Various repertoire from the Suzuki method is presented during class. Classes are kept small so we can observe your child’s development from week to week and have a mixed age range so children can learn from one another.
Suzuki Sprouts is for young children ages birth through 4 years old, and their caregiver. Our Wednesday morning classes focus on newborns to 2 year olds while Saturday classes include newborns to 4 year toddlers.
Suzuki Sprouts is taught by our Sprouts faculty.
