looking to start a Suzuki Violin group in Bloomingdale

Suzuki Violin Lessons led by Amy Beth Horman now available in and around Bloomingdale!
        
Amy Beth Horman is now offering weekly private lessons along with bi-monthly group classes for parent and child in the Bloomingdale area.
              
About the teacher: Amy Beth Horman is an avid solo performer and teacher in the Metropolitan Area. She holds the European equivalent of a doctorate in solo violin and has been teaching violin at all levels for 20 years. Ms. Horman currently runs a private studio of young violinists in DC as well as serves as adjunct professor in Violin Performance at both Catholic University and Montgomery College. She has given lectures on the Art of Practice to Performance at the University of Maryland, is a regular coach for the Chamber Music held at the Levine School of Music, and was a mentor for the Artists in Residence (AIR) program at Strathmore Hall. 
                      
While Ms. Horman’s current studio focuses on intermediate and advanced playing, this year marks the first year in many that she has made beginners lessons back available as her own daughter, Ava is beginning Suzuki violin. Ms. Horman wishes to find a group of preschoolers to join her daughter thereby forming a new component to her private studio.
            
About the Method: The Suzuki Method centers around the belief that all children can learn music if given the right environment, support, and example. Much like learning a language, the Suzuki method immerses the child in music allowing them to mimic slowly the motions and sounds they hear in an encouraging and rewarding environment. Private lessons and group classes are for both parent and child and can begin as young as 2 or 3.
           
Fees: 6 week session - $270 a student
This includes 6 half hour private lessons and three 45 minute group classes. Parents will be responsible for purchasing materials and the eventual rental cost of violins. This process will be made simple through our meeting detailed below.
         
Session will start as soon as we have a class of 5.
        
If you are interested in taking Suzuki violin with Ms. Horman, please contact her directly . She is planning a meeting at no cost for all parents interested entitled “Intoduction to Suzuki” to familiarize you with the Method and give everyone a chance to ask questions.
