Returning Student Form
With the limited number of spaces available for the Centenary Suzuki School and the great number of people on the waiting list, we MUST have the following information in order to plan for next year. Please evaluate your priority commitments, because regular (routine) home practice, attendance at group classes, and CSS recitals are expected when enrolled in the program. This form is due no later than April 23.
May 5, Sunday – ANNUAL SPRING CONCERTS
in Anderson Auditorium
2:00 pm and 4:00 pm
You are welcome to bring family and invite close friends. Masks will remain mandatory at all times.
We ask all our students to dress nice for the concert, and be in Anderson Auditorium for tuning 20 minutes early!
We will have a quick reception after the concert.
To have students exposed to the beauty of the violin, viola, and cello, we keep the instruments together for the spring concert. We are striving for a “sampling” from all instruments and levels. Cellists and violists should stay to hear the violins since they listened to your portion of the concert! Let’s teach our children to appreciate the hard work of their friends.
