Feel free to bring a dish or snacks to share, as well as any friends that may be interested in lessons (cello, violin, viola, piano).

Today we celebrate the birthday of the great French composer, conductor, and educator, Nadia Boulanger (1887-1979). She is notable for having taught many of the leading composers and musicians of the 20th century.

A message from the family and friends of Fort Worth Suzuki:

If you have had the honor of knowing Matt, then anything that might be said here will pale in comparison to who Matt actually is to all of us.

Most of us know him as a talented musician, loyal friend, and teacher who has enriched our lives, and the lives of our children, with his love of music. He has shared his gift of teaching with countless young musicians and earned a permanent place in their hearts with his genuine interest, extreme patience, and ever-present kindness.

We, his music family, and countless friends would love to show Matt how much he means to us, and just maybe help out in a practical way until he's back on his feet!

We love you and are praying for you Matt!
