Phone: 330-322-8343
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
Registration
Once you have been assigned a teacher and scheduled a time for lessons, you will fill out the registration form below.
STEP 5
Instrument & Supplies
Once you are registered and begin lessons, your teacher will guide you in choosing a properly sized instrument. Additionally, there will be books and supplies that your child will need. Click here to learn more about what you student will need to get started.
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. In group lessons, students will review music vocabulary, refine techniques using repertoire, scales/arpeggios, and work and play together as an ensemble, developing leadership skills. 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. Recital dates will be November 23 and May 3.
*There is a half year rate for those joining after Jan 1st
