Since 1971, the Suzuki Program, currently known as the Virtuoso Suzuki Academy, has been Long Island’s premiere Suzuki-based music school, providing outstanding instrumental instruction to thousands of children. In agreement with Dr. Shinichi Suzuki’s ideas, the School’s philosophy is that through the study of music, all children can achieve beyond their expectations. By fostering close collaboration between parents, teachers, and students, the Academy aims to build the love of music, self-confidence, discipline, good work habits, and outstanding achievement in every student.

When people think of Suzuki, they still think of the mass formations of three year-olds, lined up in matching outfits, playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in unison on the violin (the tune is played by the traffic lights in Matsumoto, in Suzuki’s honor). But that’s the Japanese way… in Long Island, it’s more about individuality.
The reason people come to the “Virtuoso Suzuki Academy” is not just to have fun but, by our children’s pursuit of music, to make the world a better place…. and for a child, learning music is just huge.

We invite you to explore all that we have to offer you by journeying through our site.

…It was a great pleasure to conduct a rehearsal with the Chamber Orchestra of the Virtuoso Suzuki Academy. I was impressed with the musicianship and artistry of these young musicians. Every moment was filled with joy and every measure with eagerness and reception to try new ideas and to interpret with their own ideas. They truly made Vivaldi come vividly to life…

...It was such a pleasure to run a luthier workshop for the Virtuoso Suzuki Academy students in the past season and to be able to highlight you and your students' efforts in our end of the year 2020 newsletter---I feel it's important to spread news of the positive things people are doing to help out these days given the circumstances...

...Leading a master class of very talented, young cello students of the Virtuoso Suzuki Academy was an unforgettable experience. My best part was showing them how to make baroque music dance which involved making them actually...dance to the performance of one of their peers." I greatly look forward to returning and working with these youngsters again in 2022 season...

...It was an amazing weekend coaching and having my own KSMA students teach the fun of improvisation to what I found very creative Virtuoso Suzuki Academy students. It was such a brilliant idea to share the stage and the program between the standard repertoire which VSA students prepared with virtuosity, and a musical story telling that the KSMA students acted out through music only, and to merge together for the grand finale of creativity through improvisation---such wonderful (and not the first!) collaboration of musical exchange...
