It was so fun to have my students come and hear my sister play.
I'm so excited to follow her violin career as it progresses;
a professional in the making!

Suzuki Book 6 Teacher Training

Cathy Marlor & Jeanne Grover

I decided to be ambitious this year. Along with building a house and chasing after my 2-year old, I took Suzuki Book 6 Teacher Training from Jeanne Grover. The class was 15 hours long with 8 hours of observations and this weekend I completed all the requirements except for one: memorizing LaFolia. I will be finishing that up soon and sending my registration of the course to the SAA. This will upgrade my status with the Suzuki Association of Utah to Advanced Active Teacher. Cool, huh!?! Jeanne, as always, is a wealth of knowledge and I'm excited to apply what I've learned. Thanks Jeanne!

Rebekah's Graduation Recital (Tucson, AZ)

February 1, 2009

Exactly 3 months ago, I sat in on one of the most inspiring performances I've ever been to - my sister's graduation recital.

Rebekah has become quite the violinist! She is graduating with her degree in violin performance from the University of Arizona.
