Every few years the Suzuki Association of Utah creates a
wonderful event for children in the tradition of Dr. Shinichi Suzuki, founder
of the Suzuki Method of teaching. This
is event is called Celebration and is a celebration of music, of children, of possibilities,
and many other joyful things.
Planning for Celebration IX is underway. Children from all over the state of Utah, who
study music using the Suzuki Method are invited to join in this incredible
Celebration of music. At the
Celebration Gala to be presented on September 19, 2015 in the LDS conference
Center, hundreds of children will join
together to play with one heart and one voice.
Harp students, violin
students, viola students, piano students, voice students, cello students, flute students,
guitar students, and bass students of all ages will come together for this
magical evening. The children will range
in age from 3 years old to 18 years old.
They will play in unison. Each
instrument will be featured during the concert, with the finale to be performed
in unison by hundreds of joyful students.
This is an unforgettable experience for every child who
participates. Preparation begins
now. Students must develop their skills
to a high level for this concert. The
learn discipline, commitment, dedication.
They learn cooperation and teamwork.
In addition to the Gala Concert, a Harp Celebration Concert
and a Five Piano Celebration Concert will be held on different nights, because
of space and time limitations for the Gala.
Dr. Shinichi Suzuki believed in the incredible potential of
children. He believed that every child
is destined for greatness. He believed
that with the correct teaching methods there would be no failures. He taught that music could change the world.
We honor Dr. Suzuki and cherish his philosophies because of
our love for children. We are the Suzuki
Association of Utah. We are a
community. We build children. We teach, we nurture, and we share the joy of
music. Like Dr. Suzuki, we believe that
music can change the world.
