Seattle’s premier summer music institute since 1988! Join us in person for an inspiring blend of musical excellence, learning, interaction and connection with friends! Our program allows young musicians to learn with joy from master-level Suzuki teachers.
Students will participate in three classes per day: masterclass, technique, and repertoire, plus stand-alone enrichment classes: StringsPop arranging, Music-making Lab, and Teen Symposium.
Our Young Artists will be guided by Juilliard’s Amy Barston and Concertmaster Jeff Thayer, as well as hearing from composer Allison Loggins-Hull, learning StringsPop arranging with Carrie Salisbury, musician warm-ups and anatomy from violist Kayleigh Miller, and creative expression with jazz violinist and educator, Leo Kitajima Geefay.
Parent support includes an evening parent talk by teacher trainer and psychotherapist, Ed Sprunger.
Featured artist performance by Amy Sue Barston, cellist
Violin teachers seeking additional development can study with trainers who spent time in Japan with Dr. Suzuki:
Unit 1 with Tracy Helming Wiggin
Unit 3 and Teaching Strategies with Ed Sprunger
Unit 6 with Daniel Gee Cordova
Unit 9 & 10 with Cathy Lee
This summer, be inspired, be engaged, be challenged, be heard!
