Though our May meeting was cancelled, we are now pleased to welcome all researchers, teachers, parents, and inquiring minds to join us for a series of four 90-minute Zoom sessions from August 15-21, 2020. Sessions on August 15, 17, and 19 will include scholarly research relevant to Suzuki teaching, as well as practical topics like motivation, self-regulation, and parent education. For our session August 21, we are very pleased to welcome back Dr. Beatriz Ilari, a university professor, researcher, and Suzuki parent who gave our 2018 lecture. Her 2020 keynote Does Participation in Formal Music Education Programs Enhance Children’s Prosocial Skills? will be followed by an online discussion session where participants may come together to answer questions and discuss applying study results. Teachers and parents who had looked forward to Dr. Ilari’s keynote at the 2020 Conference, will have the opportunity to sign up for that session only on the 21st.

SOS: Seminarios Suzuki en LíneaProfesora de Piano Suzuki (SAA Libro 6/7) Ante esta situación de salud que se está viviendo globalmente, la Asociación Suzuki de las Américas tuvo la maravillosa idea de crear los Seminarios Suzuki en Línea—SOS ¡Qué gran acierto! Qué excelente manera de seguir alimentando no solo el conocimiento, nuestra mente, sino también nuestro espíritu a través de estos cortos seminarios, de sólo 5 horas, que se convierten en un cántaro de agua fresca que nos llena de ánimo, inspiración y energía, y que nos permiten seguir nuestra capacitación continua para así seguir enseñando a nuestros alumnos. Suzuki Online Seminars (SOS)—Final MonthThe Suzuki Online Seminars (SOS) have been amazing! A few openings still remain for the month of August. We have had tremendous participation so far and hope to end strong. SOS sessions are interactive, small (6 participants maximum), and 5 hours total, They are offered over two days’ time and are intended to enhance unit training, not to replace it. Pre-requisites are ECC or Filosofía and Unit One.
Note: Watch the SAA website for listings of Online Teacher Training, with revised ECC Online opportunities to begin in September, and other book units—with online revisions—being scheduled to take place in fall and/or winter months.

Spring Twilight Drive-In Graduation Concert This is a little write up of the concert we called “Spring Twilight Drive-In Graduation Concert” by the students of Cathy Butler in Cathy’s Violin Studio: Last month we had our first Covid-19 friendly drive-in concert and in August we will have another. On Saturday May 23 at twilight, we performed our graduation pieces (just as we would have for the annual Suzuki Graduation Concert in Davis/Weber Utah Area during April, had it not been cancelled). It was really fun to do this as a studio on a more local level for the first time ever! Families were able to stay in their cars to watch and listen. We are making the most of our limited opportunities to perform by getting creative. My own child graduated 2 levels this year and I couldn’t be more proud of him and all my students for their amazing achievements! My studio collectively graduated from about 30 levels, all of them approved through a rigorous recording and approval process by the dedicated teachers in our area. Congratulations Suzuki Graduates!!!
