Suzuki Baby/Toddler Music Immersion Class
2025-07-28 08:00 - 2025-08-01 17:00 UTC | Sugar Land Art Center, 104 Industrial Blvd. Suite Q, Sugar Land, TX, 77478, United States
In these classes you will find out just how early learning begins! For one hour each day for five consecutive days, you will sing, dance, play, and learn with your baby or toddler from birth through age four. Your child will have the opportunity to interact with other children, parents, and teachers, learn new musical skills, increase their vocabulary, and learn about patience, sharing and taking turns. We have a daily “Parent Point” where we share strategies for continuing your child’s musical growth at home.
This immersion class will be held in conjunction with a Suzuki Early Childhood Education (SECE) Teacher Training course, so you and your child will be able to experience the teaching of not only SECE Specialist and Registered SAA SECE Teacher Trainer, Danette Warren, but also all the other excellent teachers involved in the course.
Preparation for an optimum class experience:

Register early so we can mail you some advance information.
Begin playing our class curriculum recording daily for your child before you come to class.
Read the booklet, “Lullabies, Action Songs, and Rhymes” by Dorothy Jones, founder of the SECE Curriculum.
Attend all five consecutive days of the immersion class.
Wear comfortable clothing for moving around and sitting on the floor. Be prepared to remove your shoes and your child’s shoes.
It is preferable to have only one child partnered with one parent in class.
Do not attend class when ill. Please remember, learning does not happen when you or your child is sick. Please do not pass on contagious illnesses to everyone in class. The health and safety of everyone is of primary importance.
Please refrain from taking photos or video during class to help maintain your focus on your child and their learning experience.
Get ready to sing, dance and share the joy of making music!

The SECE Stage One Teacher Training Course is an in-person, hands-on introduction to teaching Suzuki Early Childhood Education for babies, toddlers, and their families. This friendly, supportive course welcomes educators and musicians who want to learn how to create joyful, nurturing class environments grounded in Dr. Suzuki’s belief that every child can learn.
Participants explore the foundations of the SECE curriculum, observe live classes, and practice teaching strategies that help very young children develop readiness, confidence, cooperation, and musical understanding. Teachers also learn how to guide and support parents as essential partners in the learning process.
By the end of the in-person course, participants leave feeling encouraged, inspired, and equipped with practical tools to begin offering SECE classes in their own communities.
