In 2022, Anne Marie completed a Rowan University course: Foundations of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), to gain knowledge on further expanding welcoming and inclusion at Suzuki Community Strings.\r\nWith a combination of individual lessons and group playing, students are instructed in Suzuki repertoire, traditional music, and improvisation. These skills can then be shared (during non-Covid times) in the broader community through recital and performance opportunities at special events, including recitals sponsored by Suzuki Association of the Capital District, Victorian Stroll (winter festival), Troy Farmers Market, Community Meal at the YWCA, and local pre-K programs.\r\nParticipants are encouraged from the beginning to enjoy music-making together. Family members often participate in group classes and this is enthusiastically welcomed. Pianists, guitarists, ukulele aficionados, flutists, and percussionists have all joined in group classes.\r\nDuring Covid times, our Suzuki players (both youth and adult) have remained connected and supportive to one another through our 6-8 ensemble classes per week via distance-music platforms.\u00a0 In 2021, Suzuki Community Strings was awarded two technology grants\u2014one from Associated Chamber Music Players (ACMP) and one from SHAR Music\u2014 to upgrade technology for remote music participation.\u00a0 Platforms include JamKazam, Zoom, CleanFeed, and Sonobus.\r\n\r\n\r\nAnne Marie Haber has completed the following courses, and they are registered with the SAA (certificate available upon request):\r\n2023 Reimagining Literacy for String Teachers, with Winifred Crock; \t\r\n2022 Rollin\u2019 Discovering the Practice Wheel, with Gabriel Kitayama-Bolkosky; \r\n2016 Teaching with an Open Heart, with Ed Kreitman; and\r\n2014 Every Child Can, with Sally Gross.\r\n\r\n\r\nSuzuki Community Strings offers a limited number of scholarship opportunities to students in financial need in the Troy, New York area.\u00a0 Suzuki Community Strings welcomes LGBTIQ+, Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and families of all configurations. \r\nwww.SuzukiCommunityStrings.com<\/a>\r\nwww.facebook.com\/SuzukiCommunityStrings<\/a>","link":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/es\/author\/amhaberaol-com\/","slug":"amhaberaol-com","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582-24x24.jpeg","48":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582-48x48.jpeg","96":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582-96x96.jpeg"},"meta":{"lw_harbor_dismissed_notices":[],"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_last_posted":0},"acf":[],"simple_local_avatar":{"media_id":41823,"full":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582.jpeg","blog_id":1,"260":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582-260x260.jpeg","68":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582-68x68.jpeg","34":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582-34x34.jpeg","96":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582-96x96.jpeg","192":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582-192x192.jpeg","256":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582-256x256.jpeg","128":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582-128x128.jpeg","48":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582-48x48.jpeg","64":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582-64x64.jpeg","32":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582-32x32.jpeg","300":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582-300x300.jpeg","150":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582-150x150.jpeg","24":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/190720241721419582-24x24.jpeg"},"kb":{"avatar":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/wp-content\/litespeed\/avatar\/6f25ae35b9be7362e0037b1eeebfdd2f.jpg?ver=1780205058","registered":"January 1, 1970"},"is_super_admin":false,"woocommerce_meta":{"variable_product_tour_shown":"","activity_panel_inbox_last_read":"","activity_panel_reviews_last_read":"","categories_report_columns":"","coupons_report_columns":"","customers_report_columns":"","orders_report_columns":"","products_report_columns":"","revenue_report_columns":"","taxes_report_columns":"","variations_report_columns":"","dashboard_sections":"","dashboard_chart_type":"","dashboard_chart_interval":"","dashboard_leaderboard_rows":"","order_attribution_install_banner_dismissed":"","scheduled_updates_promotion_notice_dismissed":"","homepage_layout":"","homepage_stats":"","task_list_tracked_started_tasks":"","android_app_banner_dismissed":"","launch_your_store_tour_hidden":"","coming_soon_banner_dismissed":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/260426","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/suzukiassociation.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
