A quick reminder that lessons resume this week. Several of you have already been to your lessons, but I wanted to send out a reminder anyways!
I had a wonderful week teaching at the GWSI Institute in Falls Church, VA. Great students, parents and faculty. Suzuki Institutes are a great way to give your child a "shot of enthusiasm" during a particularly slower feeling of time during the year. There are institutes all over the country - a fun way to travel! If you are interested in knowing where institutes take place, go to the Suzuki Association of the Americas website. https://suzukiassociation.org/events/institutes/ Plan ahead to attend one next summer.
SAVE THE DATE:Saturday, November 4, Chapel Hill Workshop with Dr. Terry Durbin. Join us for the day (9a-6p) for group, fiddle, jazz and history classes, parent talks and more! more details to come.
Heading to Washington DC!

Heading to the Greater Washington Suzuki Institute!
I'm off to a week of great teaching, music and learning. I look forward every year to working with Suzuki kids and parents from all over the country. After these 5 days of institute week, I will have taught 60 lessons, 10 group classes, performed on a faculty recital, attended 5 parent lectures, and completed 10 hours of teacher enrichment. Whew!! In addition, I am excited to have hours and hours of "talk shop" with colleagues from all over the country. As much as this is a work week for me, it is also fills up my "teacher tank" with new ideas and tools to bring back and use in our lesson all year long. Have a great week. Practice lots. ☺ I'll see all of you in July!
