What to Expect at LASI

Welcome to the Los Angeles Suzuki Institute. Our institute is a family oriented Suzuki music summer program for students, parents & teachers of all ages & levels. We currently offer programs for students and teachers who play violin, viola, and cello. LASI offers a nurturing music experience held on the beautiful campus of Pitzer College in Claremont, CA.

  • Our Twinkler Program is designed for students with no experience or those studying Pre-Twinkle or Twinkle at their home studio. This is a half day program that ends by noon, although families are welcome to stay for the afternoon concerts and parent talks. This program is open to all ages, however most students will be 8 and under.

  • LASI is a place for students to thrive and experience playing music within the larger Los Angeles community. Our Foundational Program serves students in beginner levels, while PREP students prepares intermediate students to matriculate into our Young Artist Program by adding more advanced, age-appropriate courses such as Chamber Music and advanced electives.

  • Young Artists is for advanced students ages 13 & up. Young Artist students receive ensemble & chamber music experience, as well as advanced music electives.

  • A cornerstone of the Suzuki Method is ensuring that teachers have excellent, uniform training from the very beginning. LASI prides itself in bringing the best Teacher Trainers to teach Unit Training, Supplementary and Enrichment courses for many instruments offered through the SAA.

  • Participants have the option to register for dormitory accommodations and/or meal plans during the week of LASI. We highly recommend commuters get a Lunch Only plan to socialize with other attendees.
