Now in its 28th season, the Suzuki School of Newton is founded on the belief that all children can learn a love and respect for music that will enrich them throughout their lives. We invite you to come visit us and see this in action. Come hear the music making and learning that takes place throughout our school. Our curriculum is based upon the teaching philosophy of Dr. Shinichi Suzuki, and our mission is to promote early childhood intellectual, cultural, and character development through music. We teach to the "whole child," and as research has proven, music learning leads to many other positive effects for every human being. Enrollment in our school or in our Suzuki Preschool begins with observing classes and meeting our wonderful faculty. We maintain an open door policy and invite parents to attend an orientation session to answer your questions. Please look at our calendar and join us for one of our free concerts either in-school or outreach in the community. From Suzuki Prep for two to four year olds to adult instrument lessons, SSN has programs for learning classical music for beginners and advanced players alike. We think music is in the heart of us all—you are never too young, never too old to love music.

—Sachiko Isihara, Director
