45th Annual Spring Suzuki Festival Concert

Posted by Jenny

On Saturday, April 30th, the Greenville Suzuki Association held its 45^th Annual Spring Suzuki Festival Concert in Fletcher Recital Hall at East Carolina University. I had the pleasure of leading the group in the folk song Go Tell Aunt Rhody. The final piece was led by my Suzuki Pedagogy professor, Mrs. Joanne Bath. Accompanied by her husband, pianist Dr. Charles Bath, she led everyone from the high school seniors to the three year old Pre-Twinklers in Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, so that everyone could enjoy the final applause.

Wahl-Coates Violin Recital

Posted by Jenny

I recently had the pleasure of helping my very first violin students perform in their very first recital. The group, which I co-taught with other ECU Suzuki Pedagogy students, demonstrated for their parents and schoolmates the various exercises they have learned: clapping and singing rhythmic variations; standing in rest position and moving to playing position; bow control exercises; and playing two rhythmic variations on the open E string. I’m quite proud of all that these dear preschoolers have accomplished since October 2010! (I think their parents were, too!) You can watch an excerpt from the program below!
