"Saving the world through the power of music!"

“The Suzuki Music Program of Los Angeles provides a positive environment where children find joy in making music together, where they are eager to learn and motivated to practice, and where they reach a high level of competence in the Suzuki repertoire and in other musical genres.”

Founded in 1974, SMPLA has instructed and inspired children throughout the extended Los Angeles area for over a half-century, bringing the joy of music and music education to literally thousands of children and multiple generations.

The Suzuki Method is renowned for helping children develop musically, especially from a young age, and SMPLA has offered music education in violin and guitar.  We also are beginning a new program "Suzuki Ensembles" which includes violin, guitar, cello, viola, and bass, for children of all ages and abilities.

Early musical education significantly enhances a child’s brain development, motor coordination and speech, and also increases a child’s level of discipline, awareness, and character.  Suzuki Music Education philosophy and method of music education is invaluable for children of all ages.
