Excellence in teaching in the hands of highly qualified teachers. Our teachers  hold advanced degrees in their fields, including Master's and Doctorate degrees in music from top-notch institutions. They have been carefully selected   for their deep knowledge and professional experience. But above all, they love what they do and are truly gifted at working with their students.

We teach beginners, advanced, children and adults alike. Our youngest students  are barely three years old and the oldest are retirees in their golden years. Anyone with an interest in learning to play an instrument will find a home and a highly-skilled, caring teacher at Suzuki Institute.

We provide well-appointed, comfortable studio spaces customized for each   instrument. Teachers and students are able to focus on experiencing music in an inviting environment that promotes learning.

We are one of the oldest and most reputable schools of music in Sarasota. Established in 1989, we are celebrating three decades of excellence in music education. Generations of students have studied with us and many have gone on to professional careers in music.

All through the year, our students take the opportunity to share their skills and talents with audiences. We offer multiple concerts and performance opportunities in many different settings. Just in the past few years, our students have performed in auditoriums, an art gallery, the Sarasota Opera, the UTC Mall, the Sarasota Polo Grounds and at St. Armand's Circle at the annual lighting of the tree at Christmas.

Our Suzuki Institute school community is strong and truly believes in the value of music as enrichment of life. We form bonds with fellow music learners, experience the camaraderie of music and create friendships through sharing our musical passions with each other.

 From violins to guitar, piano, cello, saxophone and voice, our families are able to experience a wide range of instruments and teachers  without having to go very far. Many of our students learn multiple   instruments and grow their skills in different ways. Parents and children often learn and play together, creating precious memories.

We have studio hours six days a week. Between mornings and early     afternoons that suit homeschoolers and adults, to afternoon, evenings and weekends for those who need more flexibility, we can find a time for every family and work with your busy schedule to find you an excellent teacher.

Several comfortable lounge areas allow parents to relax, while the younger ones have tables, chairs and art supplies to keep them busy and engaged. Free WiFi access is available throughout our studios to help your productivity.

Located at Southgate Circle in Sarasota, our studios are right near the hub of   life in the city, close to downtown. However, our students come from everywhere around Sarasota, from Lakewood Ranch and Parrish on the north and as far away as North Port and Punta Gorda to the south.
