Times are tough. Donate to keep kids' music lessons affordable.

We thank YOU for your wonderful support of the American Suzuki Foundation and what you make possible through your commitment to us. Your generosity allowed us to award merit scholarships to eight Aber Suzuki Center (ASC) families (13 children) at the annual ASC Festival Concert. The big smile on these deserving students’ faces reflects their gratitude for receiving the Earle and Alvina Aber Family Scholarship, the Margery Aber Independent Learner Scholarship, or the Kathleen Franceschi Cello Scholarship. They were chosen for their excellence in demonstrating Suzuki Principles in their lives.

But next year’s story may be different. The University of Wisconsin System is mandating a faculty salary increase that is well-deserved by ASC teachers, but with this mandate, the only course forward is to raise tuition as it is the sole source of income for the ASC. For ASC families, (many of whom have multiple children enrolled), the proposed tuition increase combined with the recent rate of inflation may make Suzuki lessons out-of-reach.

We need your help in keeping Suzuki education accessible to all. You know what “doors” a Suzuki education opened for you. Please help keep this life-changing experience possible for all children in Central Wisconsin by making a gift to the American Suzuki Foundation today. The ASF’s mission is to “support the current and future operations of the Aber Suzuki Center, fund innovative ideas of the Center, and work to make the Center accessible to all.”
