You place a premium on your child’s education, and feel that quality music instruction is an important part of that education.

You want your child to experience all of the well-documented benefits of studying music, but even more importantly, you want them to experience the joy of music-making.

You are looking for a community of like-minded families not only to share music with, but to see your child grow up with.

John Glew String Studio is such a community.

Located in the heart of Edgewater, JGSS is a Suzuki Method violin and viola program that serves young people, ages 3-18, and their families.

Parents play an active role in their children’s education, serving as guides through their children’s practice and learning along with their children in private lessons. In group classes, students and their parents come together to enjoy the benefits of learning, and making music, together.

We perform for one another in our community recitals and concerts, and then celebrate each other at potlucks. We bring our music to the residents of Edgewater, sharing what we have learned at nursing homes, festivals, and special events in the neighborhood.

Kindness and respect for each other is at the heart of J.G.S.S. We provide an excellent music education not for the sake of building future professionals, but, as Shin’ichi Suzuki put it, “to build noble souls.” “Where love is great, much can be accomplished.”

JGSS is currently accepting families for the Fall Semester.
We welcome your inquiries.
