Camps & Institutes

The American Suzuki Institute - University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point

The American Suzuki Institute provides the opportunity for students, parents and teachers to further their understanding of the philosophy and teachings of Dr. Shinichi Suzuki. The concentrated form of the student classes stimulate and motivate while reinforcing the skills developed in the normal course of study at home. The Institute allows parents to see the success of the Suzuki approach on a grand scale and to enhance the skills they need to help their children learn.  Unique to ASI is the extensive Lecture Series on topics sure to enhance your success as a home teacher.  

Advanced Chamber Music is a two-week immersive experience. In addition to masterclasses, repertoire and technique classes, students also participate in a Chamber Orchestra and a Chamber Ensemble. Students ages 13-17 can elect to be housed in the Teen Dorm, where camaraderie and special activities enhance the experience.

Short Term Teacher Development classes are for those who wish to begin or continue their study of Suzuki method philosophy and pedagogy. 

In addition to teaching, the ASI faculty shares its expertise in the extensive ASI Lecture Series, which include a wide range of topics of interest to parents and teachers alike. Training for teachers will be offered online and in person.


The ASI Concert and Recital Series presents faculty, students, and guest artists in a variety of solo and group performances. With more than 50 concerts in a two-week period, all ASI instruments and all levels are represented. The traditional "ASI Talent(?) Show" adds a spark of creativity, humor and relaxation to the Institute.
