The Best Musical Instruction on Long Island

Suzuki on the Island, located in Manhasset, Long Island, is one of the most reputable Suzuki music programs in the tri-state area. The program was founded in 2000 by director Ani Gregorian Resnick, an experienced Suzuki teacher and accomplished violinist who has performed throughout the United States and in Europe. Mrs. Resnick, a graduate of The Juilliard School, is the former director of the North Shore Performing Arts Academy Suzuki Program. In addition to teaching and running Suzuki on the Island, she regularly performs with various orchestras and chamber music groups, as well as in the orchestra pit at the Lion King on Broadway.

Suzuki on the Island currently offers violin, viola, cello and piano lessons and accepts students as young as three to four years old.

Following the tradition of the Suzuki method, Suzuki on the Island provides students with weekly private and group lessons taught by members of our outstanding faculty, all of whom hold degrees from leading music schools and conservatories such as The Juilliard School, Manhattan School of Music, Mannes School of Music, The Cleveland Institute of Music and The Colburn School.

Suzuki on the Island students participate in a variety of performances throughout the year including solo recitals, group concerts at Old Westbury Gardens, master classes with guest artists and several outreach performances at local assisted living facilities.

Suzuki on the Island is made up of very talented and dedicated young musicians who regularly receive recognition for their high performance achievements. Each year we prepare students to compete in area wide competitions including NYSSMA where they receive the highest ratings allowing them to participate in All-County and All-State orchestras in New York.
