Our Workshop provides a
positive and inspiring learning environment for
Suzuki violin, viola and cello students of all ages and levels. 

Our faculty is renowned for the highest quality in its
master classes, repertoire and technique group classes, and
chamber music and orchestra programs.

We pride ourselves on offering uniquely creative,
yet educational, enrichment classes such as jazz and improvisation,
bluegrass and fiddling, musicianship and theater, and body mapping.
