In February/March 2014, I completed Suzuki Book 7 Teacher Training with Jeanne Grover in Bountiful, Utah. This picture was taken to commemorate 15 hours of class, 8 hours of observation,
We have a fun program in my studio for consistent practice. There is a 100-Day Club and a 365-Day Club. For every student that practices 100 days-in-a-row they join the 100-Day Club. I had 5 new members join over the last 6 months. They have all completed specific requirements. Every day their practice includes 3 important elements: listening, notereading and review. Pictured is one of my students who is also in the 365-Day Club. She took her violin all the way to China to continue her daily practicing. What wonderful group of dedicated students I have. Congrats to all my club members!
I am an active member of the Suzuki Association of the Americas and the Suzuki Association of Utah. This provides me with continuous teacher-training opportunities. It also provides opportunities for my students to participate in Suzuki graduation, concerts, and parent conventions. I love teaching the Suzuki method and have a deep appreciation for Dr. Suzuki who believed that all children can learn music and become better people for it.
