Welcome to our online Suzuki Early Childhood Education (SECE) music program! Our SECE classes provide an excellent foundation for later learning, music appreciation and instrument study. We believe in the early development of ability and in the unlimited potential of every child.

Join us for weekly “parent and me” style music classes for prenatal, newborns, toddlers, and preschoolers. Our classes are open to babies & toddlers ages 0 to 4 years and their parents and/or caregivers.

Alyse leads the class in exploring pitch and rhythm on kid-friendly instruments. We sing, dance, drum, chant, rhyme, count, take turns, read, and listen to great works of classical music. At the end of class, parents have time to reflect and write comments on their own child’s successes that day.

We encourage parents to embrace their role as their child’s most significant teacher and help them observe and celebrate their child’s social, emotional, mental, physical, and musical development. We introduce parents to the Suzuki philosophy and the 7 Suzuki ECE concepts:

When the environment is rich and unpressured, a child not only learns a skill but also gains a sense of purpose in life, an understanding of discipline, and an appreciation of beauty.”  ~Shinichi Suzuki
