Important Announcements
In this section you will find regular updates and weekly announcements for the program. Please check back each week.
October 10: No classes this week due to Thanksgiving weekend.
We would appreciate it if those who have not paid their fees would bring them to Lorie by October 17. Please also remember that our program is designed to compliment private study. Students who have graduated from Twinkle into Book 1 should have a private teacher.

Play-in - please remember to be on time for playin (both Books 1 and 2 playin in room 169 and Book 3 and up on the stage). Playin is an important part of the school and a unique aspect of Suzuki training. Ensemble playing at this level is exciting for the students and only possible because unlike other methods, these students have all studied and memorized the same repertoire. Students from our youngest to our oldest can and should participate.
New families are welcome to email any questions about the program to infofcte@rogers.com
Class lists and the rooms are posted at the link below.
Junior Division Violins 2009 (at October 3)
Please contact Pat or Irene if you think your child has been placed in the wrong class. Parents are asked not to move their children unless the private teacher and Pat or Irene have discussed placements.
Orchestra lists are posted below.
Please remember that stronger players are needed in all three orchestras. For example many book 4 students can expect to become the leaders in the Junior orchestra before moving to Intermediate. In cases where positions needed to be filled, students may be asked to move to a different orchestra by the conductor or private teachers.
