How does SECE differ from other baby music classes?

​Classes are both active and interactive, rather than passive exposure. Scientific studies have been conducted on one-year old babies that consistently participated over six months in Suzuki ECE classes with their parents (vs. inactive, experiential music classes led by professional musicians). 

Studies​ have shown that babies in the active (SECE) classes:

• smile more
• communicate better
• show earlier and more sophisticated brain responses to music
• show less distress during unfamiliar activities
• increased abilities of focus & concentration

• Classes aim to be calm, focused, playful environment, which is free from pressure. 
  
  
• Dual teachers allows for smooth transitions between activities.
  
  
• Our primary goal is to develop character, good citizenship, and a noble heart using music, and the connection between parent and child, as the medium.
  
  
• Due to our consistent curriculum, children over time develop true mastery of the concepts. Through this consistency, students are eventually able to anticipate the next activity — and display confidence when they know how to do the next activity.
  
  
• Our language rich activities and rhymes assist with vocabulary acquisition and reading readiness.
  
  
• Children develop good character and citizenship through taking turns: by learning we know a turn is coming our way, we are able to develop patience.
  
  
• Parents play an equal role in class. Through journaling, you become an observer of your child, and discover how they learn best.
  
  
• We emphasize how to be physically relaxed in our bodies, as well as making a beautiful tone on our instruments, and how to care for musical instruments, which prepares us for instrumental lessons.
