Welcome!

Welcome to the blog of the Marlborough Suzuki Strings! 

Here I will share with you some of the exciting happenings with the studio - upcoming events, tips for motivation and practice and general news.

A bit about me...

I have just arrived from spending the last 4 years in Auckland working with the amazing Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra in the Education Department.  Some of my projects included running Summer School, working with our partnership schools (APOPS) and running the Young Achievers' programme.

Before that I had a studio in South Canterbury as well as working at Opihi College.  Some of my students even came up to the APO Summer School!  So proud :)

I have been a suzuki teacher for 15 years now - starting in Dunedin and Invercargill as a student at University.  As well as studying violin and viola at university I also studied for a Bachelor of Education and have a Primary teaching diploma. 

In 2007 when I moved to Auckland I went back to study for a Diploma in Music Event Management at MAINZ.  At the end of that year I got the job at the APO to run summer school.

I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen in this beautiful region!
