Fall Teacher Workshop
with Marilyn O'Boyle
Practice and Accountability
Saturday, Oct. 19, 3:45-5:30 PM
Location: Augustana Lutheran Church
5000 E. Alameda Ave, Denver 80246
$25 for SAC Members, $35 for non-Members
Marilyn will present some ideas and solutions to practice challenges, based
on her 47 years as a Suzuki teacher, teacher trainer, parent and
grandparent. We can discuss these challenges as they show up with
beginners, as well as more advanced students and adolescents.
She will show everyone her Suzuki Practice Book and make it available at
no cost as a download for anyone interested in using it. We will also have
time for questions and answers, sharing what’s worked well for us and
where we still struggle to make Dr. Suzuki’s saying ring true: “Practice only
on the days you eat!”
Open to all Suzuki violin, viola, cello, flute, guitar, recorder and piano teachers
