AC's kids music offerings include the renowned Suzuki Program. This supportive learning environment is the perfect place for parents and children to develop a creative, cooperative learning partnership and learn to play the following instruments: violin, viola, cello, guitar, and flute. Weekly private and group instruction, monthly play-ins, solo recitals, and the annual group recital are all components of this complete Suzuki experience. Since 1977, the AC Suzuki Program has offered highly qualified and trained Suzuki instructors to support and train growing talent in all students, ages 3-18.
