On most Fridays, between September and the end of May, we offer two enrichment classes.
The Suzuki Group Class (5 to 6 pm on Fridays) is focused towards the students learning from the early Suzuki repertoire. Some of the objectives of this class include: working on common repertoire and developing skills in a group setting, allowing for peer-mentorship as well as having a social, musical environment. The level for this class is beginner to Suzuki Book 2 level.
The Studio Class (6 to 7 pm on Fridays) is designed for the upper-level students (minimum RCM 6/7) to develop many aspects of performance and technique.
Both of these classes are held at Douglas Elementary School (across the street from our studio) in Room 136.
Throughout the week, we offer Peace Arch Strings. This is a South Surrey based string ensemble/chamber groups (Suzuki Book 2 – intermediate level). There is a separate registration process for this program. Please contact us for more information.
