PERFORMANCES
Performances are an essential part of the Suzuki program. The philosophy of educating the whole child with an individualized progression and moving with the student's rhythm means that each student will progress at a different speed. Teaching the person, not the repertoire, allows music to be used as a tool to allow kids to be the best they can be. The Suzuki approach provides space and time for learning and progression at each student's own pace, drawing out their unique style and strengths and then showcasing that development at a performance.
Each year, every student will perform in at least two studio-based recitals in some of Edmonton’s premier concert halls. Each teacher hosts concerts for their own students, from the earliest beginners to the most advanced musicians in Book Seven. Students are also given performance opportunities at other concert events like the Family Fun Ensemble Concert, Keys in the Community outreach concerts, seasonal recitals, workshops and festivals. Families are encouraged to hold informal concerts at home for family and friends as much as possible.
