Give the gift of music!
“Perhaps it is music that will save the world.” – Dr. Shinichi Suzuki
Thank you for your interest in donating to the Intermountain Suzuki String Institue! Your contributions are incredibly important for music students, teachers, and the entire ISSI community. Music can foster growth and unity, and with your gift we can help children to develop not only beautiful tone, but beautiful hearts.
Here are just a few aspects of ISSI that your donations could help with:
Help students in need
Our main goal at ISSI is to make sure that any student who wants to participate can be financially supported. We want this experience to be accessible for students of all backgrounds, and we try to give out as many scholarships as possible every year. Your donations are absolutely essential to help us achieve that goal.
Bring world-renowned guest artists to ISSI
One of the most inspiring experiences for a student is to listen to and study with world-class musicians. Every year we bring in guest artists who never cease to amaze us with their musicality, technical skill, and character! They provide incredible concerts and teach advanced students. They are an important part of ISSI and your contributions can help us continue to bring amazing artists to inspire and instruct.
Support our teachers
Our teachers are the bread and butter of ISSI – they work so hard in group and semi-private lessons to give each student individual care and personalized instruction. Students often develop a close connection with their teachers, and the guidance they receive can have a long-lasting and beneficial influence in their lives. We love bringing teachers with many different backgrounds and philosophies, and with your help we can continue to bring teachers from all over the country and the world!
The Intermountain Suzuki String Institute is a 501(c)(3) organization and your gift is tax-deductible.
