is necessary to be

importance of educating
a really beautiful human
spirit."

Without stopping,
without haste, carefully
taking one step at a
time will surely get you
there."

Harry Jacobs pre-concert series, and three
times
at Disney World. Our group has
also performed annually at
every Arts in the Heart of

Lois
Akins, the SSA Executive
Director, began teaching
violin in 1978.
Two years later, she was
trained in Suzuki
teaching methods by Yuko
Honda in Louisville,
Kentucky. She
continued her training
with Bill Starr, Linda
Fiore, John Kendall,
Alice Joy Lewis, and
Doris Preucil.
She started this group
under a different name
in 1979, but it was
incorporated under the
name Suzuki Strings of
Augusta in 1990.
Five teachers currently
teach private and group
lessons: Lois
Akins, Kim Chavous, Gwen
Elsey, Joan Johnson, and
Joanne Stanford.
Students range in age
from three to adult, and we
have performances
throughout the year.
Visit our calendar page
for our next concert,
and join us for a
wonderful celebration of
music.
