new student info - Bainbridge Island

Suzuki violin lessons for 3-18 year olds are now offered on Mondays on Bainbridge Island! Group classes and events will take place once a month on Sunday evenings. Students are also welcome to attend any Seattle classes and events they like!

​

Classes on Bainbridge Island are taught by Tracy Wiggin, a Suzuki Teacher Trainer and violin instructor with a masters degree in violin performance from Yale University School of Music. Learn more about Tracy here.

​

Students start with a 30 minute weekly lesson, and have additional 30 minute group classes each month.  Children work up to practicing the length of their lesson daily, with their parent acting as the home coach. Parents attend lessons and group classes with their children, and play recordings of the pieces being learned at home.
