"I feel that the Suzuki Method has filled a very important void in the whole educational system of the United States. It has a very important function in sustaining the musical experience for young people. I consider the Suzuki approach to be a strong program that combines music, intelligence, and the family.
"My one strong piece of advice is to encourage the students to attend more live concerts and listen to great music. Encourage them to play chamber music and develop the bond with great music that will give them the view of what they can achieve through their studies."
I had the privilege of seeing Mr. Silverstein conduct the Utah Symphony a few times when I was in high school. He was just here in May, performing with the Symphony and I'm sad that I missed it! I am going to try to make it a point to go next time he's here... WONDERFUL musician. -Kayleen
