Fairbanks Suzuki Institute is a 5-day institute that centers around the inspiring Suzuki Method of teaching and learning.

FSI supports Dr. Suzuki’s belief that children can be nurtured and educated to a high level. Suzuki studies aim to educate the whole child through an environment rich in the language of music, supported by involved parents and excellent teachers. Students will develop sensitive and caring hearts that will improve everyone’s quality of life.

The whole child is nurtured by learning to play an instrument with excellent musical tone and expression while gaining skill and advancing to high technical levels.

• Students of all ages and abilities meet in an immersive music program, taught by master level Suzuki instructors.

• Parents attend classes with their children to support deep learning and build community with other Suzuki parents. Parent Talks are given free of charge.

• Teachers, both new and experienced, are supported in life-long learning through Suzuki teacher development courses and observations of student classes.

• Everyone is invited to daily student recitals, several evening recitals and the final Gala Concert.

• Fun, social events build close community – an opening day Potluck Picnic, a midweek Graduation celebration, a Pizza Party, and a closing Gala reception
