VSI is located in the heart of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. It is a lovely college setting that lends itself to a safe, supportive Suzuki environment. The campus is located near the Virginia Creeper Trail, historic Abingdon and Mt. Rogers Recreation Area.

The Virginia Suzuki Institute is a perfect fit for families with students of multiple ages, levels and instruments. Students can register for a traditional institute program with masterclasses, group lessons, theory/orchestra and play-ins. Older and more advanced students can register for chamber music and jazz programs that share grounding in Suzuki philosophy and provide additional enrichment in their area of interest. Recreational opportunities including an indoor pool and space for informal play and games.
Evening programs for families and students round out the days in the idyllic setting of this small college campus.
