Welcome! The Suzuki Association of Wisconsin (SAW) hosts a biennal Winter Retreat with hosted guest clinicians as well as teachers from around Wisconsin and Illinois. This fun "mini-Institute" experience supports the entire Suzuki-Triangle with classes for students and lectures for parents! This fun (not frozen) Suzuki Winter Retreat is held in the luxurious Madison Marriott West hotel in Middleton, Wisconsin--just minutes from downtown Madison.
