The Program

The 4^th Annual Twin State Suzuki Weekend Workshop provides an opportunity for both students and parents to learn and study the music approach developed by Dr. Shinichi Suzuki.   Three days of individual and group instruction, ensemble playing, and elective courses in music, movement, and culture will culminate in a final festival concert on Sunday afternoon.  Saturday will feature an Honors Recital and Faculty Recital.  Students who are not studying with Suzuki registered teachers but would like to participate must contact the Workshop Director, Joanna Nelson, to obtain approval.

 Program Details

All Suzuki string students, from three to eighteen years of age may participate in the workshop.  Depending on Book level and age, each student will have two or three classes in the morning and one or two classes in the afternoon.  Students with the necessary music reading skill will also participate in an orchestra.  Parents or guardians are required to accompany their children throughout the day.  Teenage students may request permission to attend without parental supervision, but must first contact the director for further discussion.
