BOULDER SUZUKI STRINGS

Amy Gesmer-Packman founded Boulder Suzuki Strings as a university program in 1982, when she began graduate study with renowned Suzuki pedagogue William Starr at the University of Colorado Boulder. By the time Amy earned her master's degree in violin performance and pedagogy, Boulder Suzuki Strings had grown to more than 70 students and had become independent of the university. Boulder Suzuki Strings incorporated in 1994 and was awarded 501(c)(3) status in 1996... Through a nurturing and supportive environment, we strive to develop excellence in character and musicianship with all of our students. Our music school has grown to nearly 200 students and 13 highly-skilled, professional teachers who are dedicated to fostering Dr. Shinichi Suzuki's vision that "every child can." Boulder Suzuki Strings graduates have gone on to study at esteemed music schools including Juilliard, Oberlin, Cincinnati CCM, Vanderbilt, Northwestern-Bienen School of Music, Berklee College of Music, Indiana..
