Review Lists
Follow this link to access the Workshop Review List. Our more advanced students will also be asked to learn pieces from outside the Suzuki repertoire; they will be sent to you when you register.
Master Classes
Master Classes are like a short lesson with one of our guest clinicians- they are a wonderful chance to hear some new ideas, hear old ideas communicated in a new way, and have a very focused experience to bring your playing to a higher level through a piece you already know well. Master Classes will be arranged in small groups of 3-4 students in an hour, and each student will receive 15-20 minutes of the class while then observing their classmates' lessons for the rest of the time. Master Classes are not a time to learn notes to a new piece; make sure to bring a piece that is already polished so the clinician can focus on you and your playing- not notes! The extra fee for any student enrolling in a Master Class is $35.
