Suzuki Strings Program
The Suzuki Program is a dazzling addition to Holy Child Catholic School's Fine Arts program. Led by Mrs. Emily Gray and Mrs. Ellen Neely, this optional program teaches participating students via the renowned Suzuki method. While Mrs. Gray and Mrs. Neely are not technically part of the HCCS staff, they're invaluable members of our school's team. They've enriched our school immensely!

Dr. Shinichi Suzuki based his educational method upon the idea that every child can learn to play an instrument when immersed in an environment which includes:
• early exposure to quality music • enthusiastic support from the parent • daily focused practice and listening • constant review of skills learned • private lessons with parent, teacher, and student • group lessons with peers • positive performance opportunities The Suzuki Program at HCCS strives to provide on campus the environmental elements prescribed by Dr. Suzuki and to support parents in extending this environment to the home. Private lessons are offered after school hours, both on and off the HCCS campus. Group lessons are on campus during school hours.
