Suzuki Institute

July 9 - July 13, 2025
About the Institute

Suzuki Institute offers 5 days of musical instruction and training from qualified registered Suzuki instructors, including group and technique classes, masterclasses, and enrichment courses. Students will benefit from learning alongside their peers from teachers other than their home teachers. Learning from various perspectives and styles at Institute provides a rich, multi-faceted, and inspiring experience for students, parents, and teachers!

A parent/guardian must accompany their student at all times. This includes moving to and from various locations on campus and during meals. If you elect to reside on campus, the student and parent/guardian will share a suite-style room with a shared bathroom between two bedrooms. We are unable to provide on-campus housing for a parent/guardian bringing more than one child. You will be responsible for finding your own accommodations.
