 | | | “With Gratitude for All that Suzuki Provides!”—B.B.
On October 17, 2017, we commemorated Dr. Suzuki’s 119th birthday and remembered the extraordinary man at the heart of our Suzuki world. DONATIONS ACCEPTED THROUGH OCTOBER 23 “Dr. Suzuki wanted to bring beauty to the lives of children in post-war Japan. Today, more than ever, the world needs us to share his respectful, positive vision.” “Dr. Suzuki’s profound philosophy and approach to pedagogy changed my life. The SAA was and continues to be the vehicle for my education. Thank you, SAA.” “I contribute to SAA because the SAA has given me far more than I can ever give. Training may be costly, but the enrichment to our lives? Priceless!” Please join us in celebrating Dr. Suzuki’s 119th birthday! Contribute to the SAA Teacher Development Scholarship campaign.
