Group Class Descriptions
Progressive Suzuki Classes:
Amati’s progressive Suzuki Classes allow students to stay for as much or as little of the class as they feel comfortable with. Students may enter at 30 and 45 minute intervals depending on their level. Beginner students should attend at least the first 30 minutes, Book 1 students should attend at least the middle 30 minutes, and Book 2 students should attend at least the last 45 minutes of the class.Students are welcome to observe portions of the class that are at a higher level of playing, or to come early to do a review of polished pieces. During the progressive classes, students & parents are asked to enter without talking and exit without talking, in order not to disrupt ongoing class.
RCM Technique Classes:
RCM Technique classes cover 3 levels of technique. Each student is encouraged to learn the technique at the other grades of the class, for review & for challenge. These classes cover the material in RCM Examination Series. Teachers will hand out a class material schedule at the first class each semester.Children’s Choir:
