Viola Lessons

at Suzuki Music Columbus

Our comprehensive program includes these 5 important parts:

1. Weekly Private Lesson

Students have a one-on-one viola lesson with a highly trained and compassionate teacher who will tailor each lesson to the specific needs of your child.  We help you and your child learn how to practice viola together in a positive child-centered environment.  The teacher and student commit to a specific regular weekly lesson time for the full year. New beginners start out with 15-30 minute viola lessons, depending on age, maturity, and teacher availability.

2. Tuesday Group Activities

All students and teachers gather each week for group classes and a weekly recital.  The group classes reinforce private lesson and home study through ensemble playing and fun activities. The weekly recital fosters a positive performance environment and a regular concert experience.  Each student will have multiple opportunities to perform on a weekly recital throughout the year.

3. Daily Listening

Viola students listen to recordings of Suzuki repertoire every day. The high quality model provides a basis for developing artistry, beauty and creativity.

5. Performance

Weekly solo recitals, group concerts, Grand Concerts, community performances, and the SMC Tour Group, provide opportunities for performance. As a regular part of the Suzuki program, student musicians become comfortable performers.
