“We are so happy to have found SPCM. It feels like yesterday when our 5-year-old daughter was learning to chin down that dummy violin, made out of a Kleenex box and ruler. Today she plays with an orchestra and practices everyday because she wants to. What she is learning is so much more than just playing a fiddle. She learns the value of hard work and when you put your heart and soul into something that means a lot to you, you can make anything ordinary to beautiful. Like music. A big shout out to the Suzuki program at SPCM. Amazing director and teachers.”

–Parent of nine year old Suzuki violin student

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place, their instructors and the community of students and families. Today’s concert was lovely and not just because of the “aw cute” factor. These musicians share their talent from the heart. Very grateful."

–SPCM Suzuki String Parent

"We’ve been SPCM Coffee Concert enthusiasts for years. The programming every season has been exciting and delightful, introducing us to talented, unfamiliar artists and fresh, unexpected music. SPCM is a treasure in the community, and a godsend to brighten our long dark winters!"

"My son has really grown greatly as he has played violin. He has grown in confidence, concentration, musically and so many other ways."

–Mother of 8 year old violin student

"This year his math grade went from C to A. I believe that had a lot to do with coming to the Conservatory."

–Mother of 15 year old guitar student

“The lesson with you was absolutely delightful and inspiring! Working on the various types of articulation and new concept of sound is challenging and fascinating. A new horizon in music for me.”
