The cello case doubles as a sleeping bag? Cool.

It's been a great start to the year. I've got several students participating in the 100-day practice challenge. We'll see how many survive!

We are thrilled to announce that a new teacher, Sophie Baird-Daniel, has joined our faculty to start a Suzuki harp program! Know any children interested in harp lessons? We have openings available!

Learn trumpet with George Steward who teaches using the Suzuki Method.

Trumpet - The Suzuki Institute of Seattle

George Steward is our new Trumpet teacher at SI. George earned his BM in trumpet performance from Wheaton College and his MM in trumpet performance from Yale School of Music. He has performed as featured soloist with many local orchestras and bands. He is principal trumpet with Cascade Symphony, Everett Philharmonic, and Octava Chamber Orchestra. He has taught in public and private schools, and directed church choirs. In 2015, George studied the new Suzuki trumpet method in Stockholm, Sweden with Ann-Marie Sundberg. He is the first to teach Suzuki trumpet in the United States. The Suzuki principles of patience, encouragement, and joy in music are a perfect fit for how he has always worked with students.

Congratulations to all who performed at yesterday's school-wide Spring Concert!

Get ready for Camp Seabeck! SIgn-up begins tomorrow!

Congratulations to students of Mrs. Peterson, Mrs. Fuller, and Mrs. Hoffman who performed in yesterday's recitals!

We love Halloween! Ms. Hilary's piano studio kicked off this year's Halloween groups. Ask your teacher when your Halloween group is!

Our parent education class is tomorrow! 7-8pm in room 5. Come meet other parents in the Suzuki community, get excited about learning and growing with your child, and get your questions answered!

Our annual parent education class is coming up next Thursday, October 15 at 7pm! Taught by one of our instructors who had the fortune of studying with Dr. Suzuki himself, this class is not to be missed!

It's the first day of lessons in our new home, and we couldn't be more excited! Happy Fall everyone!

We are excited to be in our new home at St. Luke's Episcopal Church beginning this fall! We're going to be right across the street from the Ballard library and a lovely park!

Are you excited for Seabeck? We sure are!

Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's Spring Concert! It was a treat to have our annual concert coincide with the Art Walk. What a great way to celebrate music with the community!

The deadline to register for camp is May 15; with s'mores, chamber music, biking, orchestra, and new friends, it promises to be a great time for all! Ask your teacher to learn more.

Remember: you only have to practice on the days that you eat!

Mark your calendars for Camp Seabeck June 18-21. Mail-in applications will be sent out on Friday, March 6. If you have never been, talk with your teacher or other families about it. It's a fun time for everyone!

A new Facebook Feed has been launched on the Suzuki Institute of Seattle website. You can now view our Facebook posts at: http://suzukiinsitute.org

The time to order sweatshirts is now! This year's sweatshirts have our logo and are a more cheerful kelly green color, perfect for those dreary winter months. Ask your teacher for an order form today!

Another successful Seabeck camp! We teachers had lots of fun, how about you?
Next year's dates are June 18-21, 2015; mark your calendars!
