Featured School: Suzuki Charter School
15th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION!!
On May 14, 2010, Suzuki Charter School celebrated its 15th anniversary at Edmonton’s Francis Winspear Centre for Music. Although officially 15 years old as a charter, the school’s origins can actually be traced to the fall of 1985 when the Suzuki Kindergarten Program was started with the support of the Society for Talent Education. Still holding true to Dr. Shinichi Suzuki’s belief that through the process of leearning a musical instrument we are developed on many levels, and futher, that peace and understanding can be achieved through the study of music, the school has flourished. There is now an enrolment of over 250 students and, in addition to the study of eight musical instruments, extensive choral instruction is taking place. Congratulations, Suzuki!!!
