STEP 2
Lesson Observations
Lesson observations allow you and your child to see our philosophy in action and also allows WRSS faculty to meet you and your child and determine lesson readiness. If you are unsure which instrument is right for your child, it is best to observe multiple lessons of different instruments.
If you are curious to learn more about the Suzuki Method, please explore the topics below. Links are also included to recommended books.
STEP 3
Scheduling & Studio Placement
Once the observations are complete, you will be put in touch with an instructor who has openings, and you can discuss lesson time availability at that point. The Registration materials below may be submitted once a lesson time is agreed upon with your prospective teacher.
STEP 4

There are two options when registering:
Full Registration (best value) - $410 per year. Includes: 2 formal recitals, 2 recital rehearsals, 10 Saturday morning group classes, 2 performance classes and several community concerts such as National Anthem performances at Progressive Field, Holiday Tree Festival performance, Fox 8 Morning show performance and various performances at local retirement communities. Saturday morning group classes begin at 9:00 am and occur roughly two or three times each month. Group lessons are a unique and fun aspect of the Suzuki Method, and they are a wonderful opportunity to motivate students.

Recital dates will be November 23 and May 3.
Basic Registration - $186 per year. Includes: 2 Formal Recitals, 2 Recital Rehearsals (with our wonderful WRSS Collaborative Pianist), and 2 Saturday morning performance classes that allow students can play their solo pieces in front of their peers and receive constructive feedback.
