I'm presenting at the conference this weekend and I'm tweaking my presentation this week. The title is "Creating Community in the Suzuki Studio." Community within the studio isn't just a warm fuzzy idea. We need each other.
What I really want to say it that it takes all of us working together to bring out our best. Working with such a fine group of musicians and parents has helped me grow as a teacher and as a parent and a musician.
This journey of music study is a long and winding road that requires much patience and love and a little bit of humor on some days. We can't do it alone. A few cookies after the recital doesn't hurt either. . .
True, it isn't all about warm fuzzies, but I'm sure feeling them today, and I think that's okay. I hope the students are enjoying a moment of pride in their accomplishments and the friends they are sharing them with.
I'm thankful for each and every family in my studio. Congratulations to everyone!
