Seven nationally known clinicians will be visiting Reading on October 4th & 5th for Creative Arts’ annual Suzuki Workshop. The clinicians will be traveling from Connecticut, Maine, Virginia and Massachusetts to work with students of all ages and abilities.
Although this workshop is free to Creative Arts’ Suzuki students, outside Suzuki students are also encouraged to participate. New this year, students studying under other methods, including the traditional approach are welcome to participate in the enrichment classes including fiddle class, fiddle accompanying, improvisation and intro to percussion.
Clinicians include Malgosia Lis, piano; Hanneke Cassel, fiddle; Margaret Hopkins, violin & viola; Linda Gutterman, piano; Kimberly Lorimier, flute; Pamela Marshall, improvisation; and Joshua Jade, percussion.
