“Ability develops early.” – Shinichi Suzuki

My Little Violin is a joyful, nurturing introduction to violin for children ages 4–6, rooted in the world-renowned Suzuki philosophy. Young students will build musical sensitivity, physical coordination, and a love of music through playful activities, rhythm games, and beginner-friendly exercises designed specifically for early childhood development.

No previous experience or personal instrument is required to join. 

By the end of the program, students will be able to proudly play “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and its core Suzuki variations with proper form, tone, and musicality — a celebrated milestone in the Suzuki journey.
