Welcome to the SIUE Suzuki Program!
The SIUE Suzuki Program is dedicated to string instruction for children ages 3-18. The program has been a part of the Edwardsville community for over 50 years. The following is information about our lessons, ensembles and important dates, as well as information about the founder of the Suzuki method, Dr. Shinichi Suzuki, and the founder of our program, John Kendall. Founded in 1965, our program was the first university-based Suzuki teacher training program in the United States.
