ABOUT

The Greater Pittsburgh Suzuki Institute (GPSI), now in it's 18th year, is a relatively small, extremely user-friendly summer music camp for students and teachers of the Suzuki Method. GPSI takes place on the campus of the Winchester-Thurston School in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA. We offer a day program for students and teacher trainees, with arrangements at a local suite hotel and Airbnb for those from out of town. This year we will once again offer a buddy program for students ages 7-12 years whose parents are unable to attend with them.
