Join us as we continue our 30+ year tradition of supporting Dr. Suzuki’s dream of peace through music!

Young musicians and their parents learn with joy from master-level Suzuki teachers in 60-minute classes: masterclass/lesson, technique, repertoire, orchestra or Dalcroze Eurhythmics, and an enrichment. Students up to age 7 can enroll in a morning-only program.

NEW: Music-making Lab, Origami, Cut-out Cards, & Bass!

Advanced students in cello book 6, viola book 6, and finished with violin book 8 can audition for our Young Artist program, where their technique and artistry soar as they receive feedback and guidance from world class Teacher Artists, led by power duo Amy Barston, cello, and Elisa Barston, violin.

Formal and informal performance opportunities, evening concerts, and the teen social round out the schedule.

Our students light up with pride and excitement over their efforts and progress, and experience the fun of connecting and collaborating with peer musicians, while parents see their confidence, musical voice, and expression blossom.

Our teacher training program is extensive and includes online training options, so enjoy the convenience of online training hours AND the benefit of hands-on experience with our great mentors!

Join us this summer at Japan-Seattle Suzuki Institute!
