Welcome Allie Reed—New Editor for the American Suzuki Journal Hi, everyone! I’m Allie, the new editor of the American Suzuki Journal. I’m a senior English major at Brown University, where I will graduate with honors this spring. I’m a Suzuki violin student and “faculty brat” myself, so I’ve been immersed in the Suzuki method as long as I can remember. When I’m not editing the journal, I’m a Boston-based freelance journalist. I’m looking forward to working with and getting to know all of you better, and am eager to collect submissions for our journal. If you’re a teacher, parent, or student with an idea for an article, please reach out to me at: allie@suzukiassociation.org.
