A Day with MTSA

by Cynthe Burbidge Renowned Suzuki instructor Dr. Terry Durbin would say that a title like MTSA Workshop is “B-o-r-i-n-g!” It certainly doesn’t fully represent the incredible experience these young musicians experienced at the September all-day event this last month. “That was fun!” was heard by more than one parent by the end of the day. MTSA puts on workshops for […]

However, my mom pushed me and my little sister, Katherine, to try private […]

What Happens at a Suzuki Institute?

There is such a thing as a “teacher’s high.” This describes the state I was in as I entered the last FSA Board meeting, several days after I returned from my Book 6 & 7 Teacher Training Course at the Chicago Suzuki Institute this summer. As each board member arrived and asked how I was, I immediately began summarizing the […]
