The American Suzuki Institute is a family-oriented Suzuki student summer music program held on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. It also boasts a highly regarded Short-term Teacher Development program with a wide array of courses for a variety of instruments. Founded in 1971, ASI boasts the longest-running history of any summer institute outside of Japan. The Institute is the model of excellence for other institutes around the world. It truly is an “Original.”
ASI offers a nurturing and magical music immersion experience for all participants, complete with the highest quality instruction, fun extra-curricular activities, and a nurturing, welcoming community of friends, mentors, and colleagues guaranteed to leave you inspired and refreshed. In addition to instruction, the ASI faculty shares its expertise through an extensive lecture series, exploring topics of interest to parents and teachers alike. The Institute also offers a robust recital series, including students, faculty, and renowned guest artists.
But ASI has another side as well. The campus is nestled between the shores of the Wisconsin River and the world-class SentryWorld Golf Course. Every member of the family can find something that interests them, from the Green Circle hiking and biking trail to the sculpture park and the Farmers’ Market.
