One day in 1985, Donald Becker, director of the Suzuki
Institute of Boston was alone with Dr. Suzuki in his teaching studio
and Dr. Suzuki turned to him and said, “The most important thing
about my method is helping other people. If you understand that,
then you can understand my work”
The Suzuki Institute of
Boston is committed to the idea that everyone who really wants
to play should have a chance. The scholarship program works like
this. Parents who cannot pay the full fee talk to the director
and negotiate a fee that they can pay. It only takes two minutes
and doesn’t involve filling out forms and providing documentation.
We take people at their word. Even at a reduced fee, many families
still struggle to come up with the money each week. Once students
are in the program, they’re in. If their financial circumstances
change for the worse, we do whatever is necessary to enable them
to continue. Sometimes the parent learns that they have a serious
illness and can no longer work. They know that their child can
continue studying. We have students at all levels of tuition and
in unusual circumstances, we provide lessons for free and/or rent
a violin for the student.Our violin program at the Blue Hill Avenue
Early Education Center is funded entirely by grants and gifts.
Here are some examples of what your gift could provide:
$800 Provides an electronic keyboard for recitals and rehearsals
$400 Provides individual lessons for a semester
$150 Rents a violin for a year
$100 Provides individual lessons for a month
