Oxford Suzuki Strings

Oxford Community Schools is home to the Oxford Suzuki Strings program, a tuition-based curriculum in which students receive instruction in either violin or guitar. Suzuki Strings is popular and the program grows as Oxford is one of the very few school districts that offer such an opportunity to learn a stringed instrument. At such a young age, children have an opportunity to enjoy themselves making music, learn to play in a group music setting, and perform in concerts where they proudly exhibit their new found skills of musicianship.
