Concerts as a Family Event
Suzuki families may take advantage of the many concerts in our region both at the universities and in the communities. The Palouse is renowed for the quality of the arts and they need supporting by attendance, performing and in other ways. Check with your private teacher for more information.
Donations Accepted
Since the inception of Palouse Suzuki Strings in 1974, students have benefited from donations given by parents, grandparents, businesses, and other interested parties who believe in the lifetime benefits that group experience brings to string education. As our operation expenses continue to rise, these tax-deductible gifts are appreciated more than ever. To help, contact our coordinator. Thank you!
