Welcome to the Lowe Suzuki Violin Academy of Nashville, Tennessee! If you're new to the Suzuki Academy, take a moment to watch the introductory video below or simply keep reading. The violin academy was created by three sisters all of whom studied Suzuki violin diligently under the careful tutelage of Hiroko Primrose from very young ages. Their teaching philosophy centers around the Suzuki Method developed by Shinichi Suzuki and encourages children to begin while they are young. At the Lowe Suzuki Violin Academy of Nashville, TN, children as young as one year old can start learning the violin under the Suzuki Method. As Dr. Suzuki himself stated, "Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed. Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability, just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited." With that philosophy in mind, the earlier the student starts listening to the Suzuki violin repertoire, the sooner they will recognize and be able to play the piece themselves.
Although the Suzuki training encourages beginning at a young age, it is never too late to begin learning the violin. Collectively, the Suzuki Academy teachers have taught violin students as young as 1 and as old as 88. The Lowe Suzuki Violin Academy is currently accepting new violin students and if you'd like to discuss what the Suzuki violin teachers can do for you or your children, please call 615-468-2488 to setup an appointment.

The teachers of the Suzuki violin academy recognize the importance of parental involvement in the learning process. In the beginning, parents are expected to attend violin lessons and help their children throughout the week as the "teacher at home." Students are expected to listen the violin recordings of the Suzuki repertoire and to practice daily with continual repetition of the violin pieces. Parents provide the violin students with encouragement and the students are expected to attend group classes once a month where they interact and play with other Suzuki violin students.
