The purpose of the Greater Philadelphia Suzuki Association is to

1. Promote the Talent Education method of music education based upon the teaching principles of Dr. Shinichi Suzuki- to develop people with a good heart, through a positive environment for learning.
2. Act as a resource for parent, teachers, institutions and other individuals seeking information or guidance.
3. Provide Suzuki students with opportunities for growth through recitals and workshops.
4. Promote and uphold the principles and ethics of the Suzuki Association of the Americas.

Adopted by the Board of Directors 9-19-2020

GPSA is a stronger organization when our Board, members, and students are representative of our local community.

1. GPSA will nominate Board members who are representative of our community.
2. GPSA will increase our membership among more diverse Suzuki teachers.
3. GPSA will increase diversity among participants in our local Suzuki student events.

The success of these three actions will be re-evaluated at each Board meeting.

As a GPSA patron, you make a statement that you recognize the impact the arts have in the life of a child. Please help us as we work to continue Dr. Suzuki’s dream of creating beautiful people with beautiful hearts through music! Thank you for supporting the teachers, families, and students of the Greater Philadelphia Suzuki Association and making a difference in our community.
