A Bit of Background

ABOUT

Here at Suzuki Strings Cedar City, we give excellent weekly group instruction to supplement our students' private music lessons and practice. We also provide a yearly Fall workshop with outstanding guest teachers available to all string students in the area.

Our philosophy is informed by the Suzuki approach to teaching music, emphasizing that all children can learn music well, even at a young age.

Suzuki String Cedar City started 37 years ago and is now a Nonprofit 501(c)3. We receive support from Cedar City RAP funds and the Utah Division of Arts and Museums. Thanks to those great organizations for helping make this possible!

LEADERSHIP TEAM AND TEACHERS

MARIN COLBY

Education Director
Violin Teacher

An Enterprise native, Marin brings the most experience and Suzuki-based training to the team as she has been attending Suzuki teacher workshops across the country since she began teaching violin lessons 15 years ago. Marin directs the Southern Utah String Festival held every March in Cedar City and has served as executive director for 13 years. In addition to teaching her own students in individual lessons, Marin has been a faculty member at summer music programs such as Bryce Canyon Music Camp in Tropic and Intermountain Suzuki String Institute in Salt Lake City. Marin leads the 2nd violin section in the local Orchestra of Southern Utah. She enjoys travel and has visited Europe, China, and Canada.

“Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart.”

― Shinichi Suzuki
