Welcome, dear ones, to the enchanting state of North Carolina, where the magnolias bloom, the barbeque sizzles and music is a way of life! This is a place where kids don't just walk, they dance their way to school. They don't talk, they sing their words in a melodious tune. Can you hear that? That's the sound of the North Carolina Symphony echoing through the pine-covered hills! Everywhere you look, you see kids striking up a beat on the school desks, strumming air guitars in the park or belting out tunes in the shower. These ain't just any kids, these are the music maestros of North Carolina! The air here is filled not just with the sweet smell of honey and hush puppies, but also with the captivating rhythm of bluegrass, jazz, and country music. Among these young virtuosos, there's a peculiar character - a blue-eyed, freckle-faced chap named Banjo Benny. With his unruly mop of red hair and a banjo that's almost bigger than him, Benny is quite a sight! He’s a musical wizard who can make his banjo sing like a bird or roar like a lion! Benny and his fellow musical mates spend their time exploring the mystical realms of melodies, diving deep into the oceans of harmonies and climbing the dazzling peaks of rhythms. Life in North Carolina is a musical adventure, where every day is a new tune to be played, a new song to be sung. The kids here don't just listen to music, they live it! So, if you have a song in your heart and a beat in your feet, come on down, join the fun and let's make some music in beautiful North Carolina!

The Suzuki method is a great way to get your child started on the violin. It is a method that enables children to start learning at age 3, with the help of their parents. Parents take notes in the lesson and also work with the student at home to build good practice habits from a young age. At its heart, Suzuki's philosophy is that every child can learn. This gives parents and their children a lot of confidence in their learning process, knowing that their child is capable of learning music. With the help and guidance of the Suzuki method, parents can be sure that their child will have a fun and magical learning experience.
