Montana Suzuki �������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������

PRESENTED BY THE MISSOULA SYMPHONY ASSOCIATION For nearly 40 years, Missoula has hosted the Montana Suzuki Institute each summer� This week-long event offers students an intensive yet fun musical experience� Approved and guided by the principles of the Suzuki Association of the Americas, the Institute also trains and develops teachers in the Suzuki method� These combined activities promote musical and personal growth in young musicians, families, and communities�

To further this mission, the Missoula Symphony Association recently announced the Lamar Blum Scholarship, in honor of the director who led MSI from 2005 through 2019� This scholarship will be awarded annually to a deserving student who would benefit from financial assistance to attend the Institute�
