How to Enroll

Enrollment at OPSA can occur at any time when we have openings.

We require families to observe a Group Class (schedule this by emailing us) and learn as much as possible about the Suzuki method before beginning lessons.

Third Step

Plan to observe one of our Tuesday evening violin group classes. Besides being a great way to get a feel for our program, our “Twinklers” are awfully cute! You can plan to stay for all or part of the 30-minute group lesson, depending on your child’s attention span.

Schedule an Observation

All OPSA students participate in individual AND group classes. If you have completed the steps above, please fill out our Equitable Tuition Assessment form. Scheduling private lessons is done once we have spoken with you and know what your availability is and can find a compatible spot available with one of our teachers.
