Suzuki Workshop

Alongside the three-day event, the Tennessee Cello Workshop includes a Suzuki program on Saturday, February 20. Students who are playing standard cello literature (Suzuki book 5 and above) or who are twelve or older and have the endurance for the full thee day TCW schedule should consider that registration. This one-day Suzuki Workshop is designed for beginning through intermediate level cellists ages 4 and above who would do best with a single day of activities. Participants can anticipate a fun, inspiring, and motivating experience working with Suzuki guest artists Alicia Randisi-Hooker, Kirsten Cassel Greer, and Kathleen Noel Bowman.
