Calgary Summer Suzuki Piano Institute

Suzuki Institute header Aug. 6-10, 2012

A Summer Institute can be one of the most inspiring and rewarding experiences for a Suzuki family. Teachers, parents and children are immersed in an environment of listening, performing, observing and being challenged with new ideas. The shared experiences develop new friendships and provide motivation that lasts throughout the year.

Feature Activities

Daily classes are arranged according to age and level of playing. Students will participate in a combination of three daily classes:

Individual lessons in a masterclass setting (3-4 in a class), and
Orff/Kodály Group Classes,
Repertoire Group Classes, or
Ensemble Group Classes.

Other events include daily recitals and concerts, parent lectures and time to share ideas and experiences with other families. Practice rooms are available for individual study.

Parents, preferably the practicing parent, must accompany their children to masterclasses.
