Resources
Here you will find a list of resources which have been meaningful to my work.
I have included them as I believe they may be helpful or of interest to you as a parent or colleague.
Accademia Filarmonica Utrecht
Since 2018, I have had the pleasure of teaching at The Accademia Filarmonica in Utrecht. This is a non-profit Suzuki violin school offering an enriching musical curriculum for families and Suzuki Teacher Training programs for teachers.
European Suzuki Association
The European Suzuki Association, Dutch division, is part of a global musical family dedicated to nurturing children through music. Here parents, students, and teachers can find information about workshops and courses available.
The Embodied Violinist
This is a book that I refer to often. It is written by my teacher, Gwen Thompson-Robinow, who compiled her knowledge from over 50 years of teaching and playing the violin. The Embodied Violinist includes compelling concepts, many of which I experienced first-hand during lessons and now apply with my own students. Ms. Thompson-Robinow is a great inspiration to me as she is to so many violinists, musicians, and teachers.Every violinist should buy this book.
