It has been suggested that coming to an Institute in the sweetest town on earth makes children play better and smile more. During Institute week, when the wind is blowing just right, the wonderful fragrance of newly baked chocolate comes over the hill from Hershey’s Chocolate Factory onto our campus. Studies have yet to prove why smelling yummy chocolate while playing music improves intonation, tone quality and technique, but nobody attending the Pennsylvania Suzuki Institute doubts that it does.

Parents tell us that they come back year after year because the Pennsylvania Suzuki Institute’s unique environment allows their child to learn and grow while having more fun. Bring your family to experience this musical vacation!
