Registration Information

’Learning with Other Children’ is one of our Suzuki Principles
In addition to private lessons, children participate in regular group lessons and performances at which they learn from and are motivated by each other.

Unlike other schools, at The HSSM we include group lessons and performances in our private lessons fees because it is an important part of our program.  Visit our Principles page for more information about this and other Principles of The HSSM.

Referral Bonus

When you refer a student to HSSM and they register for lessons, you will receive a 1-time deduction of $50 on your next fee payment. Please let the office know of any referrals.

Instrument Rentals Available to Grow with Students

Our teachers/faculty are qualified to help choose an instrument size that is the best fit for students. Depending on availability, we have instruments at different sizes for rent, and we can exchange them as needed — as they grow.
