Held at Colby College, the New England Suzuki Institute is open to students of violin, viola, cello, piano, guitar and their caregivers who work with a Suzuki teacher and study the Suzuki repertoire. Traditionally trained students of piano and guitar are easily incorporated into the program. All students ages 12 and under must attend with an adult chaperone.

Colby College is a picturesque New England liberal arts college about an hour north of Portland. The college offers many beautiful spaces for classes, performances and recreational opportunities.
