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.
