OUR MISSION

For twenty-five years, the Suzuki-Orff School for Young Musicians has been committed to exceptional arts education that serves as a catalyst to help children reach their greatest potential. Our innovative curricula:
  • Develop children's musical abilities;
  • Nurture creativity and self-expression;
  • Develop music and critical thinking skills;
  • Accelerate academic achievement; and,
  • Incorporate family as an integral part of a child's learning experiences.

Suzuki-Orff programs also:
  • Holistically enhance the cognitive and social development of each student; and,
  • Cultivate whole school change through outreach initiatives that facilitate teacher involvement, parent participation, community building, and long-term arts programming in low-income public schools.

The School brings together families from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, with a strong emphasis on reaching those who face significant economic and environmental challenges. Suzuki-Orff's on-site programs and outreach initiatives in the Chicago Public Schools provide high-quality, year-long arts education to thousands of children each week.
