The Hyde Park Suzuki Institute has designed an exciting new curriculum that introduces children ages 18 months to 3 years old to the fundamentals of music. With an emphasis on music and movement, children explore melodies and rhythm through fun singing, playing, and listening activities. They also "meet" and learn about the instruments from special guest instructors. One week the cello makes an appearance, another week guitar, or piano, violin, viola, or the double bass might pay a visit. Fine motor skills, body awareness, and attention are developed through finger plays and story. Together with their parent, children begin learning some of the songs that will later be taught in Suzuki instrument instruction.

Meet our Twinkle Stars teacher, Ms Nia 

Nia-Imara Barberousse is a classical cellist and Chicago native. As a child, she was a student of Martine Benman and a member of the Hyde Park Suzuki Scholars String Quartet, where they toured through the Chicagoland area. Nia graduated from the Interlochen Arts Academy where she studied with Crispin Campbell. She completed her undergraduate degree in Cello Performance at the University of Toronto under the instruction of Shauna Rolston-Shaw. Now that Nia has returned to Chicago, she greatly enjoys teaching at her childhood music school (HPSI) and performing throughout her hometown of Chicago. ​
