Why ASI?
The American Suzuki Institute is a family-oriented Suzuki music summer program held on the campus of the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point. The Institute offers a rich curriculum taught by an outstanding faculty (link to faculty page) and a variety of electives to spark the imagination. Founded in 1971, ASI boasts the longest-running history of any summer institute outside of Japan. The Institute is the model of excellence for other institutes around the world. It truly is an "Original."
ASI offers a nurturing and magical music immersion experience for all participants, complete with the highest quality instruction, fun extra-curricular activities, and a nurturing, welcoming community of friends, mentors, and colleagues guaranteed to leave you inspired and refreshed.
But ASI has another side as well. The campus is nestled between the shores of the Wisconsin River and the world class SentryWorld Golf Course. Every member of the family can find something that interests them, from the green circle hiking and biking trail, to the sculpture park and the Farmers' Market.
