Join us for music-making and learning on the beautiful campus of Seattle Pacific University. Entering our 30th season, JSSI continues our tradition of hosting teachers and students from Japan, Seattle, and beyond. Our institute serves commuters in the Seattle area and hosts out-of-town participants in the dorms. We offer classes to all levels of students, from Suzuki Early Childhood Education to advanced masterclasses in our Young Artists program, as well as teacher workshops.

Enrichment options include improv (new!) and chamber music for books 5 and up!

Nakajima Sensei (cello) will be joining us from Japan and bringing Suzuki students from Japan. Our Young Artist masterclass teachers in 2020 are Amy Sue Barston (cello) and TBD (violin).

New this year: the student institute is running Tuesday—Saturday.
