Summer Institutes

I know there is still snow on the ground, but it is not too early to think about summer. The Toledo Symphony School of Music is planning a half-day music day camp in Toledo for the mornings of July 12, 13, 14, and 15 this summer. More details will follow soon.

As students of Suzuki-method cello, my students are ready to participate in any of the many summer Suzuki Institutes. These are often overnight summer camps for the home teacher and student(s) to attend together. They are a great way to hear other young performers, learn from master teachers, and make new friends.

Blue Lake is one of the closest to us geographically, but the Suzuki Association of the Americas has a searchable Institute listing. For the last three summers, I have attended the Chicago Suzuki Institute for teacher training. It features many, many cellists.

Happy practicing!
