Join us for a wonderful, inspiring week with TOSHIO TAKAHASHI, founder and author of the Suzuki Flute Method. Located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, the East Tennessee Suzuki Flute Institute provides a family-oriented environment for learning, grounded in the Suzuki Philosophy: love, encouragement, positive reinforcement, respect, exposure to fine musical performances, review, refinement of skills, and development of personal character.

Mr. Takahashi will work with all of the flute students and will also teach specialized courses for teachers. Don’t miss the opportunity to work with this exceptional Master Teacher from Japan.
