The Suzuki Music School of Sandy Hook was founded in 1977 by W. Jeanne Luedke and has since strived to develop the whole child through music education. The school offers a variety of year-round programs for all ages: Baby and Pre-School Music Classes for Ages 6 Weeks - 5 Years old as well as Instrumental Program for ages 4 and up, which includes Piano, Classical Guitar, Violin and Viola. Students are given the opportunity to perform and showcase their talents at multiple performances throughout the year and are backed by award winning teachers who share over 200 years of experience.
About the Suzuki Philosophy:
The core principle of the Suzuki method is the ‘Mother Tongue’ aspect of the philosophy. Suzuki discovered that children could learn to play beautiful music the same way they learned to speak their native language. Given the proper training and environmental conditions, any child may develop a high level of ability.
Parental involvement is an integral component of the method. The ‘Home Teacher’ will be taught the basic information to help the child practice effectively each day. A positive, nurturing environment is encouraged. We are not born with talent; it is something which may be learned.
Classes include Baby and Pre-School Music Classes for Ages 6 Weeks - 5 Years old as well as Instrumental Program for ages 4 and up, which includes Piano, Classical Guitar, Violin and Viola.
2024 Summer sessions begin June 17th!
Business Review
"I couldn’t recommend the Suzuki music school enough. My daughter had never had any kind of musical background and she now has finished Book 1 of Suzuki violin. Her teacher, Julie, has been extremely patient, has given us excellent feedback and homework to work on and practice during the week. There are regular recitals throughout the year which gives us an extra incentive to practice. This is an overall awesome music school. Very happy we chose it for our daughter's violin lessons."

"We highly recommend Suzuki Music School in Newtown, Ct.. Our two youngest children have been students for the past 7 years. We are very pleased with the technique and approach. And the teachers are wonderful!" Paul Darragh
"Very nice people and nice environment. Our three kids all started with pre-Suzuki program and then moved on to play piano. All three of them play piano beautifully. We are very happy with the Suzuki program and approach. All the instructors there (Paul, Helen, Trish, Andy) are committed to the program and they do a wonderful job teaching the kids. They are able to work with all levels and all ages. It is a fantastic place to get kids of any age exposed to music!" Sophia White
