Suzanne began her professional music career after graduating from the College of Saint Catherine in music education and vocal classroom music. Over the last 20 years, she has packed her resume full of musical endeavors from compact disc performances to fundraisers as a flutist and vocalist.

"Suzanne is an eclectic and sensitive performer that understands the importance of music for all occasions."
- Reverend Bill Chadwick, Minnetonka

While building a busy wedding and event schedule, Suzanne also began and is now expanding her very successful private lessons business for those interested in learning or improving their singing voice as well as beginning and intermediate flute lessons. Over the last 20 years, Suzanne has taught hundreds of students in both of these disciplines and has coordinated teaching at area high schools as well. Her students have grown personally and professionally under her guidance through spring contests and competitions in junior and senior high school as well as college. Suzanne invests in the success of each student she has and each of them, in turn, has an admirable respect for her.

" I continued to sing because Ms Holtz had so much patience with me. She believed that I could be an accomplished singer and that was the vote of confidence that I truly needed in my young life. I am grateful that she was always there and encouraging me."
- J. Brouse, White Bear Lake

While Suzanne is a great teacher and influence on her students, adult and child alike, perhaps the most noted accomplishment of her career is her ability to bring a beautiful and dynamic sound to weddings and other special events. Her sensitive discernment and individual attention to the needs of each couple as they prepare for their important day is always appreciated by the bride and groom. Her ability to adapt to whatever the moment or mood dictates is a special gift that has come from years of experience with many diverse wedding requests.
Suzanne is also the perfect choice for art openings, holiday parties, business receptions, luncheons, anniversaries, and birthday celebrations. Her vast and diverse repertoire is a wonderful background addition to any gathering you might have.

"The background flute music that Suzanne played for our housewarming was subtle and sweet. People could relax and listen or talk easily while enjoying the wonderful atmosphere that her music created."
- D. and A. Elholm, Lino Lakes

Suzanne is also available to vocally or instrumentally perform for those unfortunate and inevitable occasions when someone that you love has passed away. Her sensitivity in choosing the most beautiful and appropriate music is a soothing comfort for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one.

"Suzanne Holtz is truly one of the most kind and respectful musicians I have ever encountered. When my Mother died, I felt lost and overwhelmed. It seemed like everyone was in such a hurry to get through the funeral but Suzanne was a patient and calm voice as we chose each piece of music. I felt really comfortable with her assistance during that difficult time."
- S.D. Doren , St Paul

Over the years, Suzanne has had the privilege of working with several musicians who continue to play music with her as each occasion arises. Whether it is a harp, piano, or guitar, Suzanne may use any of these accomplished professionals to enhance the soothing and rich sounds that will make your occasion personally unique.
