About Us
Report
The School for Strings was started in 1970 by Louise Behrend and was called, simply at its initiation, The Suzuki Program. By the summer of 1970, Miss Behrend was well established as one of the few teachers in the United States working with Dr. Suzuki's Ideas. During that summer, she was approached by twenty families seeking Suzuki instruction for their children, and three professional violinists who wanted training as Suzuki teachers.
Our History
Report
Louise Behrend started a small Suzuki Program in Manhattan, a rigorous course for training Suzuki teachers and an oasis for nurturing young children in the art of music. Within three years, that Program expands and develops into what is today The School for Strings. Miss Louise Behrend's career in performing and teaching spanned over 70 years.
