Mission: Developing Character, ability and community through music. NZSI’s aim is to nurture the character and ability of children through Dr Suzuki’s vision of communities enriched by music. NZSI also aims to nurture the character and ability of its teachers through internationally benchmarked teacher training opportunities and registration. Suzuki music education combines instrumental teaching with a philosophy embracing the total development of the child. The triangle of parent, teacher, and child creates a community of learning and sharing, nurturing happy and successful future world citizens through music. Dr Suzuki believed that musical ability is not an inborn talent but a capacity which can be nurtured and developed. Any child who experiences the right environment can acquire musical ability and grow into a sensitive, disciplined, and confident person. “Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens, noble human beings” (Dr Suzuki).

Financial data as at March 2025. Sourced from Charities Services register.
Charities Services Tier 3/4 reporting allows smaller charities to file a summary annual-return form rather than separately audited financial statements. The return reports totals but not the program/administration split or the line-item detail our template needs. No red flags were detected in what was filed, and revenue is below the $1M threshold at which audited accounts are expected. A letter grade is withheld rather than assigning one that would be driven by the template-fit, not the charity's operations. The charity's filed figures are shown above.
