Colorado Suzuki Institute Day 1



Day One was a success.
No one threw up.
No one broke a wrist ice skating.
Everyone slept good.

The biggest question is. . . how am I supposed to edit my essay on the Suzuki Philosophy with Mark Bjork (father figure of Suzuki violin) announcing to all the parents that they are not to use any iPhone, iPad, or laptop during the children's classes. Apparently we are supposed to be paying attention. . .   or we will be paying fines to the scholarship fund.

The first two days were busy with technical rehearsals for the honors recital for both kids and trying out the piano on the Vilar stage and Mary rehearsing with the string quartet for Wednesday's recital.

Calvin played last on the Tuesday honors recital. He said it was super fun. He got to play on the same stage as Allison Krauss, one of his favorite musicians.

If you are the grandparent or aunt of Calvin--you will enjoy this link to his performance of Mozart K. 331 third movement on youtube, kept private per CSI policy. Stay posted for more updates on the week.
