A NOTE ABOUT 2024:
PLNU has, unfortunately, informed us that they will not be able to host our event for the foreseeable future. The SDSI directors are highly motivated to continue offering this event because we believe in the positive impact it provides our community. We are in the process of working out a new venue relationship and will post solid dates as soon as we have them. Given the current timeline with how things are proceeding (working out room rates, contracts, insurance, etc...) with the possible new venues, it is unlikely that we will be able to host a 2024 institute. We are looking forward to a new adventure in 2025!

The Summer Institute
A Suzuki institute is a summer program similar to a summer camp, which meets special programming and faculty guidelines and approval process set out by the Suzuki Association of the Americas. Our annual summer institute provides an immersive educational experience for children and youth ages 3 through 17 years who are students of violin, viola, cello, and piano. Program tracks for the week-long camp are customizable based on skill and interest, and include exposure to multiple musical genres. Through a blend of individual and group classes, participants build their skills around technique, musicianship, music theory, sight-reading, improvisation, and more. Opportunities to interact with other young musicians, learn from peers and new teachers, and *have fun* are also essential to the Institute experience! We work with each student to ensure they are able to build upon their newly acquired skills as they return to their home schools, orchestras, and/or individual instruction.
Our program is designed specifically for participants already familiar with the Suzuki repertoire. Click here for additional for SDSI program requirements, and our recommendations/resources for families new to Suzuki music education. |
