Suzuki Workshop in South Florida

The Suzuki Ass. of South Florida had a workshop March 19-21 and I was able to take my granddaughter.  The workshop was near my sister's home, so she was able to come get Hallie after her classes while I stayed for the teacher workshops. It was a great weekend. I am always amazed and how I continue to get new ideas after 12 years of Suzuki training. One reason is that the method is always evolving, with teachers coming up with new ideas as they are teaching.

 

                                          Hallie was a little nervous the first day.

                                          The next day was lots of fun.

Everyone had to play their guitar at the same time when the ball hit the floor.

          Music theory is lots of fun- keep the beat with your feet.

                     Now it's time to write music- using popsicle sticks.

 Lunch break practice session, before running off to play with the other kids. 

    The Conductor Game-  play your note when the conductor points to you.

                                     Now Hallie is the conductor.

The monkey game- 1 monkey for each correct repetition. Then the hard part- bow with the monkeys.
