Dress comfortably for sitting on the floor and moving about with your preschooler. The very first classes start with large motor activities, labeling body parts and moving to music with manipulatives.

Thank you again from the Suzuki Violin students at TEC and SASS.  We very much appreciate having the opportunity to play for the Irvine City Council Meeting. Even Dr. Suzuki looks pleased.  You make Irvine great by including young people like us.   We also had a great time at the Irvine Global Village Festival.

TEC and SASS Violin Students play for Irvine City Council Meeting
Thursday, September 10th, 2009I want to thank Mayor Kang for inviting us, as well as the City Council Members and everyone that came to hear the children play. You were a wonderful audience. Thank you for giving our students so much encouragement and allowing them to share their abilities and enthusiasm with the local community.
Congratulations to Ray Chen
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009I think Dr. Suzuki would have taken great delight in Chen’s performance. To see him play the TCHAIKOVSKY made me sense the power of Sensei’s presence in the world again. It was an affirmation that as a Suzuki movement we are headed in the right direction. Even the youth who chooses to take on the rivalry of musical competition should be able to do so with imagination and joy.
A must see requirement for all of my students.
Prelude Strings Concert, Spring 09′
Sunday, May 10th, 2009Bravo Prelude Strings. I hope that some one’s dad got some video of the performance this year. I would love to have a sample to share with future families. Wish more of the younger children from our program had attended these concerts. I am sure they would have found a concert of this length manageable and inspiring.
Who stands behind every Volunteer
