Parent Sessions
Parents are invited to lectures/discussions on topics related to Suzuki philosophy and Suzuki parenting. These are given by different faculty members or parents who have a particular topic of interest to share.
Solo Recitals
Students may choose to perform on a solo recital, by completing the information when they register. Recitals are optional, and we ask that students only register for a recital if they have a piece that is well prepared by the first day of camp.
