Hawaii Suzuki Institute (2023)

The Hawaii Suzuki Institute is designed for violin and cello students who desire a five-day intensive study of the philosophy and pedagogy of the respected Japanese educator, Dr. Shinichi Suzuki. Students of all ages and levels are welcome to attend. We will have classes for Twinkle through Advanced Levels. If your child plays viola, please contact the institute director and we may be able to accommodate your child. The student application deadline is May 20, 2023. Late applications will be accepting for an additional $50 fee, pending space available. If your book level's slots are full, you may be assigned only group classes and receive a refund for the masterclass portion.

Parking
Parking is available in the parking garage adjacent to the building. Please note that UH strictly monitors and enforces parking rules throughout the day, and they will not be allowing us to park in front of Orvis this year.
Drive down the hill next to the music building and pay the attendant $5 all-day parking (credit card only). Park on the bottom floor on the far left right as you enter, and take the elevator up to the top floor. Walk across the street to the music building.
On Friday, keep your ticket receipt so you can come back and park for the evening concert.
