If you have not signed up for summer lessons, send in your sign up sheet as soon as you are able.  Continued lesson through out the summer months will help your child remain confident and interested in their skills as a young musician.  I will accommodate your requests as best I can around the lessons already scheduled.

   Parent Education                                        

When I was at the Greater Washington Suzuki Institute in June, I attended a 10-hour enrichment course with Dr. Terry Durbin. (see above, he will be here in October to work with all of our kids!!)  The course focused on the topics of Motivation and Autotelic Learning.  There were many tidbits of inspiration and serious food for thought given to all of us over week.  I will share some of these tidbits over the coming months, but for starters, I want to recommend a book that I am reading right now.  

The Self-Driven Child by William Stixrud and Ned Johnson

The Wake Co library does have a few copies available.  Purchase a copy or check it out of the library - even the just the first 3 chapters are so enlightening!!

Here is an online overview of the book I found:   https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-case-for-the-ldquo-self-driven-child-rdquo/
