A Suzuki Violin Teacher and Violinist, Aunt Suzanne began studying the Suzuki Method at age 5. She has taught for over 45 years(!) Aunt Suzanne is currently teaching at her studio in Salt Lake City, Utah in the Sugarhouse/ Liberty Wells district.  She has taught Suzuki Violin in England, Japan, Tennessee, Indiana, Nebraska, Arizona, The Sacramento Suzuki School, Livermore’s L.A.G.A.T.S. School, the Atwater School for at-risk children in Los Angeles, California and at many other institutes and summer workshops, both in doors, outdoors and online.   Aunt Suzanne received her Teaching Certificate of Graduation from Dr. Shinichi Suzuki’s Talent Education Research Institute in Matsumoto, Japan.  She is Certified through the Suzuki Association of the Americas to teach Suzuki Twinkles and Books 1 through post book 10.

Many of her students have attended prestigious music schools such as The Curtis Institute and The Cleveland Institute of Music. However, Aunt Suzanne’s biggest hopes are to help foster children ’s character and sensitivity, that their lives and hearts be touched and enriched by the world of Classical Music. That they receive the myriad of positive skills and traits that studying a musical instrument can offer, especially the delicate and detailed study of playing and performing the violin. In short, she wishes them all to develop a beautiful heart. 

Aunt Suzanne does not give students mere instruction. She is committed to Dr. Suzuki’s plea: My prayer is that all children on this globe may become fine human beings, happy people of superior ability, and I am devoting all my energies to making this come about, for I am convinced that all children are born with this potential.

(Aunt Suzanne has performed with The Utah Symphony, Ballet West Orchestra, L.A. East, Lexington Philharmonic, California Symphony, Fremont Symphony, Germantown Symphony, Jackson Symphony Orchestra and the T.E.R.I Orchestra.)
