The Idaho Suzuki Institute provides the opportunity for students, parents and teachers to further their understanding of the philosophy and teachings of Dr. Shinichi Suzuki. The concentrated form of the student classes stimulate and motivate while reinforcing the skills developed in the normal course of study at home. The Institute also allows parents to see the success of the Suzuki approach on a grand scale and to enhance the skills they need to help their children learn.
Teachers can begin or continue their study of Suzuki method philosophy and pedagogy.
