Last week marked the debut of our new KinderU Suzuki Music Academy t-shirts.

This photo is the shirt’s designer, artist and violinist Nicole Lee.

Congratulations to Nicole for the wonderful design – the shirts look great on everyone, and people will definitely be able to tell when our school is performing!

Also, congratulations to all of the artists.   The faculty voted on the design that would be used – it took three rounds of voting to make a decision because there were so many wonderful designs!

The piano group classes had a chance to go to a field trip to Wanchai Tom Lee. We were invited to play the pianos in the Steinway and Sons Hall, where they put all their Steinway and Sons, Boston, and Essex pianos. The Steinway and Sons grand pianos were beautiful! The tone was amazingly good. We selected several pieces for each group class to do a play-in. Each student played on one piano at the same time. We all had so much fun with the great pianos, and we enjoyed spending time playing piano together and learn from each other! Afterwards we went on a tour in Tom Lee to explore different instruments. This was a wonderful and memorable trip to everyone!

We are very excited to announce that cellist Elizabeth Riley will be joining our faculty in August, 2016.  Ms. Elizabeth comes to us with extensive training and experience in Suzuki pedagogy, performance, early childhood education and music education.

Ms. Elizabeth has a high level of enthusiasm and energy in her teaching and personality; her cello teaching and orchestra conducting are both highly engaging.

With the arrival of Ms. Elizabeth, we are able to expand our offerings in both cello and Early Childhood, as well as implementing some new programs…stay tuned for more news!

Welcome, Ms. Elizabeth!   We look forward to seeing you in August!

The details are finally settled, so now is the time to place your t-shirt orders!

Once the order has been placed, we will begin using these as our “uniform” (wearing black dress pants/skirt on the bottom) for most performances other than our most formal concerts.   They will debut at the Starlight Recital on Saturday, 21 May, where – at the elderly home’s request – the violin/viola Twinkle Group, Lalo and Paganini Groups will perform in addition to the soloists.
