Dr. Laurel Trainor, of the McMaster Institute For Music And The Mind presented groundbreaking research on the Suzuki Baby Music Class and its impact on infant development.

“The results indicate that active musical participation accelerates musical acquisition compared to passive listening when appropriate pedagogical approaches are used.

Participating in the Suzuki Baby Class is a unique and special opportunity for Portland children unlike any other early childhood music class.

Young SuzukiPortland violin students are most inspired by playing and learning from children just a bit older than them. The SuzukiPortland Violin, Viola and Cello Mentor Program understands this and is available for all students to participate in. 

Dr. Mishkin, cellist and Director of the SuzukiLakeOswego Preparatory Program will begin a new theory class in the Fall semester starting August 31, 2009.

Sign-up begins August 1.

Please call Dr. Mishkin at the SuzukiLakeOswego Studio at 503 635 3742 for details.
