About this Event

Founded in 1990, the Suzuki Strings of Madison (SSM) offers children and youth of all ages high-quality musical instruction on the violin and viola using the pedagogy of Dr. Shinichi Suzuki. As a community of students, teachers, families, and friends, SSM is dedicated to helping all reach their full musical potential through private and group instruction, ensembles, workshops, performances, and other activities. SSM provides faculty with a stimulating environment of mutual respect, in which duties and ideas are shared, strengths are recognized and utilized, and individual growth and continuing education are valued. Embracing the philosophy of Dr. Suzuki, SSM believes that a musical education nurtures the human spirit and fosters social harmony.
