The Denison University Suzuki Program is offering a Parent Education Class on Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Burke Hall beginning January 26th. This eight-week class is for current Suzuki parents as well as those interested in learning more about the Suzuki method before beginning lessons with their child.

The course will cover basic Suzuki philosophy and will explore some of Shinichi Suzuki's books and recordings. The cost for the class is $40 plus materials. Childcare is available by request.

The class will be taught by Heidi Corcoran, who began studying the Suzuki method at the age of five and received her master's degree in music education with an emphasis in the Suzuki Method from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. In addition to teaching Suzuki cello at Denison, Corcoran teaches in Upper Arlington and performs regularly with the Newark-Symphony Orchestra and other performing groups in Columbus.
