SCHOOL YEAR PROGRAM – SUZUKI METHOD FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE AGED 4–21
The school year consists of 38 weeks of lessons divided into two blocks. School holidays follow the Dutch school calendar.

The program includes:

  • Weekly individual Suzuki lessons of 30, 40, or 50 minutes, depending on the student's age and level.

  • Group lesson weeks, during which the regular individual lessons are replaced by group lessons mostly on Mondays and Wednesdays. These lessons focus on Suzuki repertoire, technique, and music reading, but also different music repertoire.

  • Participation in the annual concert with all students and teachers of Strijkdomein.

  • Participation in an annual solo recital for my students.

LESSON DAYS AND LOCATIONS (subject to availability):

  • Monday at the Koningskerk in Voorburg
    (Bruijnings Ingenhoeslaan 4, Voorburg).

  • Wednesday at the music school Strijkdomein
    (Piet Heinplein 50, Den Haag).

FIRST MEETING/TRIAL LESSON
If you’re interested in starting Suzuki violin lessons with me, the best approach is to observe one or more of my lessons first. You can also book a 30-minute trial lesson and informal conversation with me to get to know each other and learn more about the Suzuki method. This first meeting is free of charge.

After the trial lesson, you can register your child for my program through a link that I will send you.

RATES AND PAYMENTS
Tuition is divided into two blocks of 19 weeks each. At the beginning of each block, you’ll receive an invoice. Invoices must be paid in advance. Monthly payments can be arranged by prior agreement.
If a student starts in the middle of a block, tuition will be prorated according to the number of weeks remaining in that block.
Tuition covers all activities mentioned in the program description, including individual lessons, group classes, and participation in the annual concert and solo recital.

GROUP LESSONS:
About every 4-6 weeks, the weekly individual lesson will be replaced by a group lesson week. During these weeks, students can attend as many group classes as they wish, practising Suzuki repertoire, Christmas songs, or preparing for the final annual concert with all Strijkdomein students.

CANCELLATION AND LESSON RESCHEDULING
If you are unable to attend a lesson, please notify me as soon as possible. If you cancel at least 24 hours in advance, you are entitled to reschedule the lesson, subject to availability. The rescheduled lesson must take place by the end of the current term.

If you cancel less than 24 hours in advance or do not show up for the lesson, the lesson will be forfeited and cannot be rescheduled. Missed lessons are non-refundable.

If I need to cancel a lesson, I will provide an alternative lesson slot.

HOW TO TERMINATE THE PROGRAM
If you wish to stop the lessons, please inform me two weeks in advance.
You can leave at any time, but I recommend completing at least the current block. Unused lessons in the block will not be refunded.
