Suzuki Program

Woodside, Queens & Beacon, NY


We are thrilled to introduce "Suzuki Kids Program" at Queens Music Academy. 

What is the Suzuki teaching philosophy?

It emphasizes nurturing a beautiful human being through music — starting as early as 3 years old. We believe that music is a medium that can reach a child's mind deeply. Raising a beautiful mind human being will save the world. We regard music learning as a way where students can practice their life - as well as their critical thinking skills. Patience, empathy, communication, and learning along with our students from both the parents and the teacher is the key to success. 

Please read this page carefully for our pricing, scheduling, and policy.
