The Greater New Orleans Suzuki Forum has highlighted its year with a Summer Camp for over thirty five years. That is special since even hurricane Katrina did not interrupt our continuity. Through the amazing generosity of the SAA and the donation of instruments and supplies which had been lost in the storm, the year 2005 was an outstanding Institute year for us. Teachers were encouraged to rebuild their studios, although many of their students had left the city. Ronda Cole has been with us through many tears and blessed our teachers with her insight and teaching specialty.
We continue to reach out to the community, training many young students to a high proficiency, equipping them and parents and teachers to do their respective jobs better in music education. New Orleans is such a fountain of music to the whole world. The Suzuki Method is highly developed here as a way of teaching children to play violin, viola, cello, guitar, piano, flute, and bass, and harp. Suzuki teachers are located around the city and participate in the GNO Suzuki Forum yearly events with their students.
