"Music is the language of the heart without words." - Dr. Shinichi Suzuki
About Suzuki
Suzuki has found that children can learn very well at a young age. Teaching in the United States has substantiated this belief and experimentation is constantly employed to see exactly how much can be accomplished at this stage of development. Lessons should be a happy experience, where both parent and teacher become involved in the marvel of the unfolding process of learning.
Congratulations to all of the Suzuki Stringers past, present and now looking to the future! My studio has re-opened and I'm thrilled to welcome back a few former students as well as some new Stringers! I hope to keep the wonderful traditions of Suzuki music alive and well and thriving in our community!
Approach
My goal is to help children find passion, appreciation and dedication through learning to play the violin in a fun and friendly environment! Music is invaluable to our daily lives and can help our children thrive in every aspect of life. Through group and private lessons, performance and study we can achieve these goals and more!
Testimonials
"I cannot speak more highly of her capabilities or her love of music and children." -- Robin Hodsdon Morin, Pownell, Maine
"Last summer we began interviewing Suzuki violin teachers for Emma. Since she is a somewhat reserved and sensitive child, we felt she’d do best with a very nurturing and positive teacher. We immediately knew we found the perfect fit when we met Laura. This was confirmed a few months later when Emma’s grandmother asked her what she liked most about playing the violin and she responded with 'I love my teacher'.
The violin is a relatively difficult instrument to learn, yet Laura manages to make daily practices and weekly individual and group lessons both informative and fun – even for a 5 year old! She is flexible and adjusts her approach to best suit the individual child’s or group’s needs and interests." -- Stacie Bowden, Falmouth, ME
