Continue your child's journey through Suzuki Book 1! Students will work on more complex musical elements as well as continuing to develop their ensemble skills and note reading in preparation for entry into the orchestra level Instrumental & Vocal Music (IVM) classes. 
 
Students in the Suzuki-Alegre Program are required to enroll in private lessons in conjunction with their group class. This method is proven to have outstanding results for young string players. Learn more about private violin lessons at Merit here.
