Suzuki philosophy embraces the idea that all children are born with musical ability that can be nurtured at an early age through their environment, listening, imitation, and by working closely with the parent at home. Traditional string pedagogy enhances Suzuki philosophy by incorporating the development of technique and musicianship through scales, etudes, music reading, and a variety of repertoire. YPSP students attend a private lesson and a group lesson each week. A parent's participation is required. For more information on the YPSP, please call the Preparatory at 410-234-4630 and request a copy of the YPSP Guidelines, or attend a YPSP Orientation.
