DETROIT YOUTH VOLUME teaches youth ages 3-18 to play strings using the world-class Suzuki method to nurture perseverance, creativity, collaboration and empathy. Since 2010, DYV has made quality arts education free & accessible to low-income families, especially youth from Capuchin Soup Kitchen. Paying and scholarship students alike receive the same excellent music education.

We strive to function as an anti-racist, pro-Black Suzuki studio. In addition to maintaining a team of excellent Suzuki teachers with equitable representation in mind, annual collaborations with local artists as guest instructors develop positive cultural identities in our students as Detroiters and as youth of color (applicable to 70% of our kids). These have resulted in albums celebrating Suzuki songs and Detroit-centric genres like hip hop, jazz & techno.

Some music videos with Suzuki mash-ups can be viewed on our YouTube channel and all can be heard on our Bandcamp FREE!
