The Greater Austin Suzuki Institute is designed to inspire and enrich the lives of students, their families, and the community by offering high quality learning and musical experiences as modeled by Japanese pedagogue Shinichi Suzuki.
The program is designed for violin, viola, cello, bass, and guitar students who currently study through the Suzuki Method, offering activities for students, parents, and teachers. We have 5 divisions of the program: (1) Early Childhood, (2) Preparatory, (3) Foundational, (4) Emerging, and (5) Young Artist. Families attend together and participate in a wide range of musical and enrichment activities including master classes, repertoire classes, group classes, orchestra, recitals, and more!
Suzuki Institutes serve as a training center for Suzuki teachers. Teacher development in 2022 will be offered virtually and/or in-person following the approved teacher training curriculum of the SAA—please see our website for more specific information about courses.
Our diverse faculty of world renown pedagogues includes many teachers who call Austin their home. We want to share the spirit of community and share an experience that is uniquely Austin. Come join us and be inspired to be a part of the Suzuki community.
