Cello Graduation is fast approaching.  This is one of our favorite cello concerts of the year! Students from all Suzuki levels will perform their polished pieces together on one stage.  We begin with the most advanced students and play down the books, finishing with our ever-favorite Twinkle.

12 teachers across the state of Utah are participating for a grand total of 140 cellists graduating various levels.  Congratulations to all involved!

Every year Suzuki Association of Utah offers graduation events for its members.  The Cello Graduation will be held on Saturday, February 4, 2012 at the Salt Lake City Main Library Auditorium.  The concert will begin at 3:30 pm and students are expected to arrive early for setup and rehearsing.  Advanced students Book 5 and above should plan to rehearse one week prior (Saturday, January 28) to prepare for the graduation concert.

The graduation concert is a wonderful opportunity for students of all levels to perform with other Suzuki cellists on pieces that they have refined and polished.  Suzuki cello teachers across the entire state present students in this fabulous concert.  Graduates are given certificates for all of their graduate level pieces.  All other participants will receive a certificate of participation.

This event is funded by SAU family membership dues and is free of charge for any families belonging to SAU.  I am responsible for organizing this event and depend on other cello teachers to volunteer help as needed.  Parent volunteers are also needed.  Please notify me if you'd like to volunteer to help in any way.  

I will automatically enroll all of my SAU students.  Please let me know if you cannot attend the concert.

If you are interested in joining SAU to participate in this event as well as others, please let me know.


 
 
Our studio recitals will be held on Saturday, November 12.  You can choose between 3 different time slots:  9 am, 10:30 am, and 12 noon.  All students are expected to perform a memorized piece and should decide on that now!  Stay tuned for further details on location.
 
 
Sometimes all we need is a little idea for a change of pace.  Students who complete this list will earn a surprise at the end of the summer.  Happy Practicing!

This summer was eventful for my professional development!  Opportunities included:
  • Attending the Suzuki Association of the Americas Conference in Minneapolis (May)
  • Teaching cello at Intermountain Suzuki String Institute (June)
  • Attending cello teacher training at Chicago Suzuki Institute (July)
  • Performing in a House Concert series of Chamber Music (July)
  • Attending Music Mind Games teacher training at Northwest Suzuki Institute in Eugene, OR (August)
I'm fortunate for all these experiences and the way they inspire me as a musician and teacher.  I'm looking forward to putting new ideas into action this fall!
