Suzuki Day 2017 Info

Suzuki Day is Saturday, March 25, 2017. Please plan to attend all day (9am-5pm) although your personal schedule might not include all of those hours. There is a link below which will tell you which group you are in, and the times and rooms you can find your classes. Please read the participant letter from Ms. Shelley!! If you have any concerns or find a conflict in your schedule, you need to contact her directly. I am not authorized to to make any changes to your schedule. However, if you just have a general question, I’m happy to answer as best I can. 

If you are in Group A or B, you should have a masterclass, a group class, the cello play-in and an enrichment class. If you are in Group C, you will have a group class, an art enrichment class and the cello play-in. If you find that you aren’t assigned to one of these events, please let Ms. Shelley know.

You may wear the 10th anniversary Tshirt instead of the SA uniform shirt, if you choose.

Parents, please attend parent enrichment classes – AS MANY AS YOU CAN!! The topics are listed, and there is one nearly every hour. If you need babysitting during the class, that is also usually available. This is a great opportunity to get to know the other Suzuki Academy Faculty, and developing all three “legs” of the Suzuki Triangle is a key aspect of getting the most out of your Suzuki experience. If you don’t know what the “legs” are, YOU NEED PARENT ENRICHMENT!

PLEASE PLAN TO ATTEND THE FACULTY RECITAL AT 1PM! You may eat your lunch while attending the recital, if it’s the only time you have to eat. 🙂
