The Suzuki Institute School of Music Mission Statement

The Suzuki Institute School of Music is dedicated to the development of ability in all children.  We teach according to Shinichi Suzuki’s philosophy that all children have the capacity to learn and develop high standards of achievement.

To this end, The Suzuki Institute School of Music offers parents and students excellence in musical instruction in a caring, nurturing environment.  Through private instruction, group classes, workshops, recitals and other activities, we aim to teach children not only the joy of music and music making, but also the life-long lessons of confidence, self-esteem, concentration, self-discipline, and sensitivity.  Believing that music is an art form to be shared, The Suzuki Institute School of Music brings the love and joy of music and children to the community through public performances.

The Suzuki Institute School of Music provides its faculty with a stimulating environment of mutual respect where duties and ideas are shared, strengths are recognized and utilized, and individual growth and continuing education are valued.
