Third Floor Suzuki Violin

I do have to say that one of my favorite things to see a student do is to bring in a neat, well marked piece of music.

I can't say I'm a fan of a lot of new music being written these days, but this, is good new music. No gimmicks, very virtuosic and kept my attention the whole time. I'll be adding Curtis Stewart to my list of modern composers to keep tabs on.

Continuing my redo of all my 'Preparatory' exercise videos. Here's the triplet exercise I do before Minuet 2.
Are there any other prep exercises for any Suzuki pieces you'd like me to make a video for?

This was from one of the best Suzuki Book 3 playthroughs I've heard! Every piece was played well, with good posture, tone, intonation, musicianship. An easy pass. Onward to viola book 4!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made yesterday’s concert at Winnemac Park so special! The students’ beautiful playing filled the park with music, and we all loved seeing the sense of community that the Suzuki Method creates when we come together. We are grateful to everyone who made this event possible. It was a joy to share the music and spirit of Suzuki with our wider community.

Our young violinists will share their talents in a warm, family-friendly setting. The concert is free and open to the public—bring a picnic lunch, relax in the park, and enjoy beautiful music in the fresh air!

This is the power of listening to pieces long before you start to physically learn them. THIS is the power of the Suzuki Method.

'Steve's Lava Chicken' jingle from the MInecraft movie. She came to her lesson last week saying she learned it by ear (as is the Suzuki way) and well, proceeded to prove it!
