Parent Testimonials:
"I am just so thrilled with this school and grateful that I found a healthy environment for my child, I can't praise them enough."
"In a hectic environment NYC parents are faced with, Melissa is probably the most reliable, helpful and calm caregiver I've ever met. My children love spending time with her because she is both happy and confident around them."
"Deb was wonderful teaching my 4 year old son the beginnings of writing and math. She knew exactly how to teach him at his level and stretch him to think about problem solving from a 4 year old's perspective. Deb is a patient, caring and attentive teacher and I always knew my son was in good hands as I dropped him off daily for preschool...exactly the kind of comfort a mother needs when leaving a "little one" to be cared for by others"

The School for Strings, New York
Courses / Programs
Located in Manhattan, New York, The School for Strings has been New York’s premiere Suzuki-based music school since 1970, providing outstanding instrumental instruction in violin, cello, piano and fiddle to thousands of children and teenagers. In agreement with Dr. Shinichi Suzuki’s ideas, the School’s philosophy is that through the study of music, all children can achieve beyond their expectations. Dr. Suzuki's educational precepts are based on his conviction that every child can be educated and the corollary assumption that every child will be educated. Success is built into his approach, both in the manner of teaching and in the choice of repertoire contained in the volumes of the Suzuki Violin, Cello and Piano Schools.
Children learn the fundamentals of classical music: rhythm, melody, harmony, tempo, dynamics and articulation. By fostering close collaboration between parents, teachers, and students, we aim to build the love of music, self-confidence, discipline and outstanding achievement in every student. In Suzuki study therefore, children learn to play their instrument at first by ear, learning the music they are to play by extensive listening to recordings of each piece.
