Kinderfiddle preparatory music and early violin program presented by Foothill Suzuki Strings

Can you imagine a violin program that meets the needs of a 3 year old and at the same time professional performing artists?

A revolutionary new program is being used across the country and will soon find its way across the globe. It was conceived by a master teacher who was trained at Peabody Conservatory (and has studied with violin giants Henryk Szeryng, Charles Libove and Eudice Shapiro). Educator, performing and recording artist Mark Casillas has created the Fiddlesticks Violin Education Course, designed to take a violinist from toddler to performing artist.

Drawing upon elements as diverse as Dounis and Kreutzer to the more modern Suzuki Method, the Fiddlesticks course provides a solid foundation for beginning string players and a potent workout for advanced players alike. Foothill Suzuki Strings is proud to offer this program to students in the Inland Empire area of Southern California and beyond.

Patented Fiddlesticks Violin easily develops correct technique and posture

Learning how to hold a violin and bow in correct form and with freedom from tension is often the greatest obstacle to a beginning student. The Fiddlesticks system uniquely solves this problem with its patented “training” violin, which has been utilized by students as young as 2 years.

FSS will offer Fiddlesticks sessions for ages 3 and above in Rancho Cucamonga and La Verne, CA beginning in Sept. 2009. To receive an announcement of exact class times and locations, please visit our registration page.
