Searching for the Living Soul in Tone

We have all heard Dr. Suzuki’s quote “Tone has a living soul.” Does it? How do we find it? As musicians and teachers, we have all surely experienced a concert, a sound, or a moment that touched us and makes this quote ring true.

Join SAA registered teacher trainer Kirsten Marshall as we pursue this idea together.  This 10-hour enrichment course is being offered in person.

We will discuss the principles in the Suzuki philosophy; tracing tone development embedded in the repertoire, paired with the matching techniques to achieve them.

Through Interactive demonstrations we will delve into the complexities of moving from the beginner’s “diamond tone” to the concert stage. Designed to be both informative and playful, this course is meant for both new and seasoned teachers alike.
