A TUTORIAL is a small group class led by an experienced Suzuki teacher where each child has an individual short lesson on their chosen piece. Parents and other children in the class also learn by observing and listening to other children’s lessons. Children are grouped in similar book levels, not age levels.
Tutorial Grouping:
- Twinkle Class - from beginners up to Honeybee
- Books 1 students - can prepare 1 or 2 tutorial pieces.
- Books 2 and above students - are to prepare 1 tutorial piece.
A CONCERT is a solo performance by one child, or a duet by 2 children, in front of an audience of children and adults. Children may perform pieces from any book level (eg Twinkle A) to advanced post graduate repertoire. Maximum time for each piece is 5 minutes. Restrictions apply on the number of children in each concert due to the size of the Brissenden Hall.
Concert piece: Concert piece title, composer and duration of the piece must be known before booking. Maximum duration is 5 minutes per concert piece. Concert pieces should not be played in tutorials.
Performers should wear suitable concert clothes & shoes (smart-casual)
