Our Board

Volunteer board members believe that every child has incredible potential and using the Suzuki philosophy to teach music is one of the most effective ways to develop it. Board members come from various professional backgrounds in ​the community and some have been Aber Suzuki Center students themselves or parents of Aber Suzuki Center Alumni.
