Susan Wilcox was the founder of two after-school orchestra programs in Salt Lake County and has served on educational boards and committees as advocate for music education. She has over twenty-five years of experience working with extraordinary young musicians and is certified in both Suzuki and Mark O’Conner methods. Susan received her Baccalaureate Degree in Music Education from Brigham Young University and has received additional training at Berklee College of Music and UCLA. She currently teaches in the Canyon School District and has successfully taught music in elementary school programs across the state. Susan studied under world-renowned Suzuki teacher Hiroko Primrose who studied directly under Dr. Shinichi Suzuki. She maintains a private studio teaching viola and cello. We are so blessed to have her assisting Denise with the Intermediate Strings. It is so rare to find another teacher who has such a passion for music that she started her own orchestra program to benefit her students. She has experience both with after-school and school-day groups and will be such a contribution to our program.
