Suzuki Training Continued at PhoenixPhest Grande

This week I had the privilege of attending PhoenixPhest Grande in Yipsilanti, MI at Eastern Michigan University's campus. This festival and institute included Suzuki instruction for students and teacher trainees along with some fabulous solo and chamber recitals. As a teacher trainee, I learned so much more about different teaching techniques and was able to connect with other violin instructors from across the nation. I am excited to incorporate new techniques into my teaching! The faculty was fantastic and the kids seemed to have a great time. I would recommend this festival to any students seeking more chamber group experience and violin instruction.

I hope you all are enjoying your summer! Feel free to check out some of the pictures I took during the week.

All the best,
