Suzuki Royal Oak Institute of Music

I enrolled my kids at Suzuki Royal Oak when they were very young. SRO has proved to be an outstanding program for my kids from the word go. Suzuki method helps with development of auralization skills of kids from a young age. In other words, kids are encouraged to listen to music from the beginning, which allows them to internalize musical notes, chords and scales. SRO staff is very friendly and invests a lot of effort in teaching 1-on-1 lessons while involving parents with kids’ education; parents’ involvement at SRO is a matter of great pride for my kids. Additionally, there are group lessons to teach music-theory, instill camaraderie with peers and expose kids to other musical instruments. Seasonally, SRO holds recitals and concerts where all students can participate (no exceptions), which is great confidence booster. Overall this program can serve you in more ways than one.

Up until a couple of weeks ago, I would have held your hand skipping to take you to registration. Unfortunately, the school's bullying policy is pro. Our daughter had almost four wonderful years here, but when a kid got mean and his parent got creepy, they put the onus on me to keep my daughter safe. She was effectively punished for being bullied.

This has been an amazing program for my daughter, she has been with the program since she was 3 1/2 and her growth in confidence and educational enrichment through studying the Violin has been amazing, she is now 12 and loving it, her performances make me cry !. She's excelling in Math at school too, another welcome side effect from early music education. Her teachers have been a huge part of this, with some of the best in the business, nationally recognized, all in a nurturing and non competitive environment. Unique to this program she experiences weekly group classes in addition to her private lessons which helps with the social aspects also. I wish more people new about how much this can enrich their children's lives.
