At TESSI our focus is always
to maintain a fun and positive musical learning environment for all students,
and to provide parents with the help they need to build a productive home
learning environment as well.
Our Suzuki teachers hold degrees in music and
have had extensive Suzuki teacher-training. TESSI is a registered member
of the Suzuki
Association of the Americas, and our faculty are engaged in training,
study and research into Suzuki and other music teaching methods.
Youth Music is our specialty,
so you can be assured that our faculty have the patience, skills and training
to work with your child’s unique personality and learning style.
Our mission is to establish
long-term relationships with our students and families and to provide a
stable learning environment to ensure the success of every student.
