Building Noble Hearts Season Two

Building Noble Hearts Podcast

Coming on May 28: Podcast season two of the the Suzuki Association of the Americas’ podcast series: Building Noble Hearts!

We will release episodes on iTunes as well as on the SAA homepage with a transcript of the show and a link to a discussion forum where we can continue the conversation with interviewees.

In season one we talked with individuals, learning how specific principles of Suzuki teaching influenced their lives. In season two, we will pull back and take a broader view of the ways Suzuki philosophy has influenced people through time, among community members, within families, and across the globe.

Click Here to listen to this and all the other episodes.

Congratulations to SAA Teacher Trainer Edmund Sprunger, MSW, on receiving the 2018 K. Lynne Moritz, MD, Leadership Award.

This Summer: Institute Focus Groups

At every summer institute, all Suzuki members have the chance to gather at an SAA Focus Group meeting. At these vibrant, collaborative meetings, we discuss current questions and ideas. The ideas brought up—whether new or recycled—can be interesting and helpful to everyone. Plan now to attend an institute in 2018, and be sure to lend your voice to the discussions at an Institute Focus Group meeting!
