Crescendo Suzuki Studio of Bedford, MA is a community based on Dr. Shinichi Suzuki's philosophy that every child is talented and can learn. Director and Instructor Carlough Faulkner-Carroll passionately enjoys working with students and their parents in every stage of development from Newborns through High School Seniors. The aim is to use musical study as a vehicle to develop the whole child; body through control of instrument, mind through musical patterning, spirit through the joy of making music, and moral character through daily practice. Teacher, parent, and child work together in a relationship that continually evolves to fit the changing abilities and needs of the child. Please feel free to look around this website for more basic information about violin instruction and to contact Carlough with any questions or inquiries.

“Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart."

--S. Suzuki
