The New England Suzuki Institute (NESI) is held at Colby College and is open to students who play the violin, viola, cello, piano, or guitar, as well as their caregivers, who work with a Suzuki teacher to learn the Suzuki repertoire. Students who have been traditionally trained in piano or guitar can easily be incorporated into the program.

All students who are 12 years old and younger must come with an adult chaperone.

NESI is committed to providing an exceptional learning experience for students of all ages in an environment that offers one-on-one attention. Because of the focus on individual instruction, registration is limited to 130 students and is processed on a first-come, first-served basis. It is essential to register early, as spots often fill up quickly—often before the June 1st deadline!
