My Suzuki Graduation

Suzuki Graduation Concert 1989
(I'm in the red dress)
There are 10 books in the Suzuki repertoire. The first 8 have graduation pieces in them. The last 2 are Mozart Concertos. Through the years, I graduated from all levels and learned both concertos. In 2004, in order to become eligible for teacher training, I made a video tape of myself playing one of those Mozart concertos (about 10 minutes in length) and sent it into the SAA to be evaluated. I was so nervous about it but all the work and effort paid off. I am eligible to receive training to teach through all the Suzuki books. So far I've completed the teacher-training for books 1-5.
