US Fine Arts Department Chair, Dr. David Guidi, says of the institute: “Suzuki institutes play a vital role in community building and helping to preserve a teaching method that seeks to nurture the soul and build character, through music. St. Andrew's is incredibly supportive of the fine arts, and opening our doors to such talented teachers and students puts our name on the the national and international stage as supporters of Suzuki education and helps to spread the word about our wonderful facilities and the exciting things happening here."
