Shaw Strings | Suzuki Early Childhood Music Classes

Fall 2025

“I suggest that the combined energies of parents and teachers be concentrated on this powerful force for a wonderful education. Knowing that children have such a wonderful life force, it is inexcusable not to develop it.”

— Shinichi Suzuki, founder of the Suzuki Talent Education Method

“Children learn from One Another” and “Ability develops early”

While the Suzuki Method was first developed as a means to teach violin, the tenets of this educational philosophy can be found for many instruments and subjects around the world - Including their amazing Suzuki Early Childhood Education curriculum! Learn more about the Suzuki Talent Education Method here.

Under the guidance and encouragement of Dr. Suzuki, Dorothy and Sharon Jones compiled the curriculum now known as Suzuki Early Childhood Education. He regularly told them “Do not forget the babies!” because he knew how important those early years are for the youngest of us and their families. Carefully prepared for children ages 0 - 4 and their parents and caregivers, this class provides wonderful opportunities of connection, community and music!

I deeply love the purpose and materials in the curriculum, I can’t wait to share it with the Hagerstown area.

Please join us and share about this class starting this fall!
