In 1977, several Suzuki Method string teachers in Orange County wanted to provide opportunities for their students without driving to Los Angeles and a chapter was officially formed within the Los Angeles Branch. In 2017, our group had grown large enough to become a Branch of the Suzuki Music Association of California. We sponsor annual festival performances with approximately 300 student participants, hold biennial teacher workshops and student master classes with leading Suzuki master teachers from all over the U.S. We also have a financial aid program to help with tuition costs for attendance at workshops, summer institutes and the National Cello Institute.

Instruments: Violin, Viola, Cello, Guitar
