Suzuki-Orff School for Young Musicians
The Suzuki-Orff School for Young Musicians provides exceptional arts education as a catalyst to help children reach their greatest potential. Our innovative curricula: • Nurture creativity and self-expression; • Develop music and critical thinking skills; • Accelerate academic achievement; and, • Incorporate family as an integral part of a child's learning experiences. The School brings together families from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, with a strong emphasis on reaching those who face significant economic and environmental challenges. Suzuki-Orff's on-site programs and outreach initiatives in the Chicago Public Schools provide high-quality, year-long arts education to thousands of children each week. Suzuki-Orff was founded in 1981 to fill a void in Chicago’s education community. We began teaching Orff classes and Suzuki instruction to a diverse group of fifteen families. Within two years, we established partnerships with nearby public schools to broaden our on-site student base and created a need-based tuition assistance program. Inspired by our innovative methods, Chicago Public Schools requested our help to bring music programming into their schools. As a result, we launched Project IMAGE in 1986. This program provides innovative, long term arts education in schools that serve low and mixed-income populations. We initiated Baby STEPS® in 1994, Clap, Sing and READ!® in 1996, and Music LEAPS in 2000. These initiatives, designed into core Suzuki-Orff programs. Today, Suzuki-Orff serves thousands of children and families each year.
