Event Description

One of the most common and pernicious criticisms of Suzuki students is that they “play like robots.” Unfortunately, having a common repertoire and technique may make our students especially vulnerable to this phenomenon. How can Suzuki teachers simultaneously inculcate a natural ease of technique while also cultivating thoughtful, expressive, spontaneous, and coachable artists? This irreverent seminar will offer specific techniques that can be used in individual and group lessons to encourage students to interfere with the “robot” and foster sensitive musicians who are in control of mind, body and heart.

Course full.
