Practical and Personal: An Inquiry into What Teachers Do Merlin Thompson writes, “As a Suzuki Piano teacher, I’ve always been interested in understanding more about what teachers do when they teach. Do they pass on knowledge? Are they responsible for telling their students what to do? How do teachers bring out their student’s potential?” These questions and their satisfying, enriching answers can be found in his latest article in the American Suzuki Journal.

The Suzuki Alumni Project in Texas! “Hailed for her “magnetic, wide-ranging tone” and her “rock solid technique” (Philadelphia Inquirer), Ayane Kozasa is thrilled to be giving back to her Suzuki roots in the Dallas community. Joining her is childhood fellow Suzuki kid, Cynthia Black, in a recital featuring a duo performance of LeClair and other Baroque masterpieces showcasing the best of the viola repertoire. ” To watch or participate in the event, click here for more information.

Playing Together Before Playing Together “Suzuki Violin Recital at Waldorf Kindergarten. In the Saturday afternoon of 11 November: my students and I held a Suzuki Violin Recital at a Waldorf Kindergarten called “Jardim Alvorecer” (Sunshine Garden) in Londrina/PR/Brazil. There we had total involvement of the parents, both of my private studio and from the Waldorf School. It was very nice to see my violin students playing with other kids before and after playing! And, of course, to play at all.”—Brenno Lopez
