FACULTY & STAFF

The Faculty of Virginia Suzuki Institute is solely comprised of SAA sanctioned Teachers, several of whom studied with Dr. Suzuki himself. Many of our faculty have been with us for more than a decade, and several have brought their own children to attend VSI. All of our faculty genuinely care for the 'whole student'- not just their musical abilities.
