Registration Details

Please see our calendar for registration dates. New students may register during open enrollment.

Enrollment Form
Lesson Times
Current or returning students can register during published early registration dates and open registration. Enrolling early improves the chance that you will receive or keep your desired lesson time. New students may enroll year round except during early enrollment periods.

You can reserve a time-slot for your private lesson for the next term when your past due balances are paid and you register and make a payment (either in full or a first 
installment).

Lesson scheduling begins with a clean slate at the beginning of the school year which is the fall term.  Lesson time-slots are reserved on a 1st come 1st served basis.  Previous and summer lesson times are not carried through to the new school year.

Private lessons are scheduled through our office only so make sure to reserve a space on your teacher's schedule when you register, whether in person or by phone. SCHEDULING WITH THE PRIVATE TEACHER IS UNOFFICIAL AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.  
 
Private lessons are Monday through Thursday, 12:00 pm to 7:00 pm and Saturdays, 8 am to 5 pm when the instructor and space are available.

Prospective students students/families should observe at least 1 private lesson and 1 group lesson before registering and before being assigned a teacher. After enrollment, Suzuki parents are required to attend parent workshops and complete assignments. NEW PARENTS must attend a parent orientation for questions, scheduling and registration. Parent or guardian must attend all lessons.
