UWSP Aber Suzuki Center and American Suzuki Institute

UWSP Aber Suzuki Center and American Suzuki Institute ASC, and its summer program, ASI, is one of the oldest, most comprehensive, and highly regarded Suzu

The UWSP Aber Suzuki Center and American Suzuki Institute teach using the philosophical principles and music education methods developed by Dr. Shinichi Suzuki. We nurture, motivate and inspire students, parents and teachers to incorporate these principles into their lives. At the heart of the Suzuki philosophy is the idea that everyone has talent and can become a successful, sensitive and caring

person through the study of music in the Suzuki method. The method treats music education in the same way that people learn to speak their native language; through listening, imitation and repetition in a positive, nurturing learning environment. The emphasis is on musical and personal growth through individual and group instruction which develops technique, musicianship and kind hearts. The Aber Suzuki Center is the only Suzuki program in the state affiliated with a university. It is one of only 24 programs across the country offering long-term, degree granting training for teachers. It is also one of the most extensive programs in the country for students, offering classes in Suzuki Early Childhood Education, violin, viola, cello, bass, voice, piano, guitar, flute, harp, chamber music and orchestra. The American Suzuki Institute (ASI) is a family-oriented Suzuki music summer program for students, parents, and teachers of all ages, instruments, and levels who value individualized musical and personal growth. Founded in 1971, as the oldest Suzuki summer institute outside of Japan, ASI is the model of excellence for other institutes around the world. It offers a nurturing and magical music immersion experience for all participants, complete with the highest quality instruction, fun extra-curricular activities, and a nurturing, welcoming community of friends, mentors, and colleagues guaranteed to leave you inspired and refreshed.
