Enrichment Classes
(Click here for general information and our registration form)
In addition to the master class and repertoire class, which address the fundamental aspects of string playing, each student participates in one or more enrichment classes. These classes are designed to expand students’ musical horizons and, in some cases, develop musicianship away from the instrument.
The students will be placed in the enrichment classes based on age and schedules and the NSI reserves the right to cancel or change classes based on enrollment and faculty.
In previous years, our enrichment classes included:
Music & Movement: This class is especially designed to help young beginners acquire rhythm and listening skills through an Exploration of music that engages their entire body.
Folk Dance: Students have a joyful time exploring folk dances from all over the world moving in connection to the pulse of the music they are dancing to while gaining an awareness of the music’s form.
Fiddle: A dynamic introduction to fiddling techniques and repertoire for Suzuki violin students, our fiddle classes allow students to participate in another exciting musical tradition. Cellists and violists are welcome too!
Taiko Drum: This class will provide a fun introduction to the playing techniques and enjoyable rhythmic patterns used on Taiko playing.
Viola for Violinists: Kick back, relax, set aside your sparkly violin for the mellower tones of its middle-voiced cousin, the viola.
Enrichment Classes for Siblings and Parents: Brothers and sisters of students who are attending the Northwest Suzuki Institute need to register to participate in any enrichment class on a space-available basis. Parents may register too: however, adding enrichment participation should not interfere with parents’ requirement to attend their child’s classes. To register, fill out the registrationform and indicate “enrichment only.” Enrichment classes are $60 per class, per participant.
