The parent attends all classes with the child.
It is recommended that the parent reads Nurtured by Love by Dr Shinichi Suzuki and To Learn with Love by Constance Starr before beginning the class.
There are no refunds for materials or missed classes. There are 3
studio piano recitals during the year and one in June that is a swim
and lunch party after the recital. I also recommend attending the 2
Spivey Hall Suzuki Piano Graduation recitals in January 2012 and May
2013. Tickets and Suzuki Piano Graduation Recital schedules at
www.spiveyhall.org or by calling 678-466-4200.
Studio recitals and classes are held in Sandy Springs in the lower
level of the instructor, Judy Blase's, home. It is recommended that
you and your child observe several lessons before starting the group
lessons. That can be arranged by calling Judy Blase and setting up a
time to observe.
Group lessons eventually become private lessons when the
instructor determines the readiness of the child. At that point, if not
before, the student must have an acoustic piano in good tune in the
home. An adjustable bench or chair and adjustable footstool are
necessary to have in the home.
I recommend that you purchase the best instrument you can afford when
your child starts lessons . I teach on 2 grand pianos side by side in
the studio.
The class is limited to 4 students and their parents
