Congratulations Christie!

Congratulations to Christie Keiko-Abe, who recently awarded the 2015 Certificate of Achievement from the Suzuki Association of the Americas (SAA)!

The SAA Certificate of Achievement recognizes teachers with a commitment to life-long learning and self-improvement.

The process was developed within the framework of the Suzuki Philosophy and was designed to encourage self-evaluation and professional growth.  It provides a viable measure of achievement and commitment beyond the basic registration of units.

Congratulations Christie!

Suzuki Summer String Camp

Suzuki Summer String Camp is starting to fill up!

It will be a great experience for all children and will help broaden and deepen their musical knowledge in a week.

Camp takes place from July 13-17, 2015. The cost per student is $500, or $250 for an optional half day for age 4 and 5. For more information and to register, please visit our website.

Reminder: Suzuki schedule changes for 4/4

there are several schedule changes on Saturday, April 4 because Sherwood/ Columbia College Chicago is hosting a TEDx event in our recital hall. For those of you familiar with TED Talks, this is a big production. We are pleased to be able to offer the majority of our Saturday programming that day, however, in order to accommodate the event, we are moving or canceling the following Suzuki classes on April 4, 2015:

• Suzuki Orchestra & Suzuki Performance class: Cancelled
• Luke Bartolomeo Private Piano Lessons:  Moved from room 223 to room 215
• Suzuki Violin Advanced Group:  Moved from Recital Hall to room 208

Thank you so much for your attention to these matters, and please don’t hesitate to contact Mr. Aki with any questions.
