At the heart of Suzuki Studies at CIM is the strong conviction that "every child has unlimited potential." This method, developed by Dr. Shinichi Suzuki in the 1940's was inspired by the observation of the way language is learned in early childhood through the communication skill shared between parent and child. Because this program begins at such an early age, the role of the parent as home teacher is integral to the child's progress. Suzuki seeks to develop the whole child, to expand his/her ability to learn, appreciate, and discover the joy of music. Once the fundamental playing skills have been established, creative music theory for children is added to teach the basics in reading music.

Prior to enrollment, the parent and child must observe a minimum of five lessons and discuss the program with an instructor. CIM offers Suzuki studies in violin, viola, cello and piano.

Private and Group lessons are scheduled weekly. The program also includes Suzuki Theory, Performance and Solo Recitals.
