The 2012 Desert Suzuki Institute will be enjoying its third year in Las Vegas, Nevada. We are thrilled to offer our SAA flute, piano and violin students, siblings, parents, teachers and trainees this musical experience. Our Pre-Twinkle Camp for ages 3-6 is a 1/2 day program and wonderful introduction to the Suzuki world and music. The Advanced Flute, Piano and Violin Track students are those in Books 5 and up. These special programs are also available to non-Suzuki students who are studying repertoire at the same level as the above. Advanced Track students have a full day schedule which includes a 2-hour block with their mentor. We are also offering a Jr. Advanced Flute Track for Flute Books 5 and up for students ages 13 and younger. They will enjoy a Master Class, Jr. Adv. Flute Track Block, Concerto, Repertoire, Ensemble and 1 Enrichment.

Housing & Meals

Our main housing facility will be the Southpointe Hotel in Las Vegas—about 20 minutes from the Institute. Swimming, spa, restaurants and shopping are all nearby.

The Trump Hotel is offering all DSI participants a $75/night rate (no resort fee) for their Studio Suites. Reservations must be made through DSI.

Lunches this year will be catered by Wholesome Tummies which offers an array of healthy as well as vegetarian selections. These must be custom ordered and paid for through the DSI website prior to the start of the Institute.

Recreation

There are countless free entertainment offerings at most resort properties. Stay the weekend and enjoy an outdoor musical at Spring Mountain Ranch (marvel with the audience as you witness dozens of shooting stars), The Blue Man Group (Venetian), Donnie and Marie (Flamingo), Terry Fator (Mirage), ‘O’ (Bellagio) or travel up to Cedar City, UT for the Shakespeare Festival. A boat trip on Lake Mead or a trip to Hoover Dam are always a must. The Springs Preserve is a beautiful place to learn about desert plants and animals.

Other Info

We are very excited to be moving to a new location in 2012. The City Impact Center is centrally located and offers classrooms, lunchroom, gymnasium (and air conditioning!).

Students traveling by themselves will be met at the airport by one of our local parents/faculty. All hotels are serviced by shuttle service and/or cabs to and from McCarran Airport.

The DSI Store, in partnership with Music & Arts, will be open each day of the Institute. Suzuki materials, stationery items, snacks, Music Mind Games materials, gifts and more will be available for sale.

A special evening is set aside for a swim party/bar-b-que. Our Thursday night Ensemble Extravaganza will feature our Advanced Flute and Violin Track students presenting concertos with the professional DSI Chamber Orchestra. All Flute, Piano and Violin Ensemble classes and the Drumming enrichment classes will perform as well. All students are welcome to audition for the Tuesday Honors Recital.
