We are moving to Dubai soon. My DD has just turned 4 - she's been learning to play the violin since the last year, following the Suzuki way of learning. Does anyone know of Suzuki violin teachers in Dubai, who can take lessons after school? I would have liked to specify an area, but we dont know where we are going to live yet - have to sort out schools first! Any help would be totally appreciated!

There are a lot of excellent schools that are rated 'Good' you shouldn't limit yourself to those that have an 'Outstanding' rating. Have a look at GEMS Wellington Academy, Silicon Oasis. It has only been open 18 months, has excellent facilities and already has a good reputation. Have already tried that, but there is no place available for FS1 or FS2 in Sept :( we've only just had to confirm whether we want a place next year so our school may still be taking new admissions... http://www.safaschooldubai.com/?nav=admissions&id=468 Thanks for the tip, Pikachu, already on it :)

hi Keyamom......i totally understaqnd. We are also moving to Dubai this summer and finding a school for our daughter in FS2 has been unbelievably tedious...........we are still searching. i guess its even worse cos we are not on ground to visit the schools and have to rely on word of mouth and phone calls..........its crazy...........i really cant believe its this hard to find a school. some schools have waiting lists till 2015!!!!!!!!!! Wish you the best and in case you find a place............pls, pls, pls.........send me a mail at [email protected]....... Hi Temmi, yes I've been told that too, in fact I was told to apply for 2014-15, its totally crazy! We are going to Dubai next week & if I have any joy, I'll let you know
