SUZUKI SPOTLIGHT
50 YEARS OF SUZUKI EDUCATION AT MIC
Chicago Suzuki Institute Each summer the Chicago Suzuki Institute (CSI) offers a concentrated week of master classes, group instruction, short-term teacher training courses, concerts, and musical enrichment for Suzuki violin, viola, cello, and piano students, their parents, and teachers. CSI participants experience dramatic musical growth, stimulating teaching by extraordinary faculty, the motivating presence of their peers, and the nurturing support of their parents. CSI is also a "laboratory" for the study of Dr. Suzuki's teaching methods. Prospective instructors as well as experienced teachers find opportunities to develop and refine their teaching through short-term courses approved by the Suzuki Association of the Americas and taught by internationally acclaimed educators.
"The Chicago Suzuki Institute is a special place I look forward to every year. With my CSI friends, I can be myself without having to pretend to be 'cool' or good at something. We have fun when playing games, and we encourage and support each other when playing music." - CSI student participant
