Character First, Next Group Class & Last Call for Fiddle

The Character First Challenge is underway. I'll be watching and helping everyone over the next few weeks as they persevere through personal challenges, whether it be establishing daily practice, being a mentor in class, being diligent with using full bows in practice or stepping out of a comfort zone in group class. The more we challenge and push ourselves, the greater our abilities become. Good luck everyone!

Next group class is a musical show and tell. Please bring in another instrument that you play or share a piece of music that you love or a performer. Maybe you have a family member that plays another instrument that you could show or a favourite movie musical to tell us about (I will have my computer to look things up if needed). What else outside of the Suzuki method and the violin do you love? My family is currently enjoying the new Beauty & the Beast soundtrack!

Also, just a reminder that Fiddle Class starts this Saturday April 1st. If you would like to still sign up for fiddle class, please let me know ASAP.

Stay tuned for the repertoire list for the Year End Recital on May 14th! 

A HELLO from baby Margaret!

Congratulations Everyone!

Even though our theme has been Character First, Ability Second, the ability shown on Sunday's Recital was incredible. I saw big steps in ability from every single performer, whether it was listening for accurate intonation, watching their violins, remembering posture points or taking time with the tempo of the piece. Everyone had a challenge to work through and I saw everyone succeed.

As I sorted through the Candy Grams today it was so great to see the friendships and kindness that is present in this musical community. It is not an easy task to get up and perform in front of a room full of people. However, doing so in a friendly and supportive environment can make all the difference in the world and can teach us confidence so that we may find the courage to perform or speak up in other areas of our life.

Thank you to everyone who supported Amy's Violin School by purchasing Candy Grams and Raffle Tickets and congratulations to all the raffle winners!

Also, thank to this years parent volunteers and those who offered help. Your time and assistance is greatly appreciated.

Lastly, thank you to our accompanists Drew and Nancy for their time and work.
