Japan-Seattle Suzuki Institute
Seattle, WA
www.japanseattle.org
Seattle’s premier summer music institute since 1988! Join us in-person for an inspiring blend of musical excellence, fun, and interactive learning as we celebrate 30 years together!
Our program allows young musicians to learn with joy from master-level Suzuki teachers. Students will participate in five classes per day: masterclass, technique, repertoire, orchestra or Dalcroze Eurhythmics, and an enrichment. Students up to age 7 have the option to enroll in a morning-only program which will include masterclass and Dalcroze.
Young Artists will be guided by power duo Amy Sue Barston, cello, and Elisa Barston, violin. Course offerings parallel what is offered to all students, with expanded chamber music study.
New: we’ve expanded class times to a full hour, allowing 15 minutes between classes.
Featured artist performances by Amy Sue Barston, cellist, and Elisa Barston, violinist
