Suzuki Voice
Suzuki Voice is singing instruction using the Suzuki method. It was developed specifically for teaching young children to sing, but singing lessons can be started at any age. Suzuki Voice studies can also be started as a baby or even during pregnancy.
Applicants are invited to a meeting with teacher Leea Lahtela to discuss the studies and sing together. No preparation is necessary for the meeting.
