Suzuki in the Berkshires was founded in 1986 by Jerilee Kechley who was its driving force until her death in August, 2005. She firmly believed in the Suzuki philosophy and method and helped bring it to over a thousand students and teachers during her career. Suzuki in the Berkshires continues to pursue Jerilee's vision by offering music programs featuring world-renowned faculty, a diverse curriculum for all levels, and summer fun for all ages.
