Studio Recitals
Student studio recitals are held monthly on Wednesdays and Sundays, with additional
days and times at the end of each term. These recitals are typically a mix of
instruments, ages, levels, and styles and are a great way for students to gain
exposure to a variety of musical possibilities. Students are encouraged to play
the same piece in more than one recital in order to gain confidence and comfort
in performing. - Saturday, February 18, 4:00pm,

BOSTON SUZUKI FLUTE
INSTITUTE (Formerly known as

2012 at Brookline Music School
Students & Teachers Book 3 & 5
A half-hour SAA meeting will be scheduled as part of the institute program.
All students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Student Program
Each flute student will participate
in four classes daily, including a master class, tone and technique, repertoire
and one level-appropriate enrichment class.
Enrichment Classes
Enrichment classes include Dance/Movement, Outside the Box, Comfluter, and
Jazz. Additional enrichment classes available at extra cost are Sibling
Piano (daily master class and one enrichment elective) and Piano Elective (for
enrolled flute students).
Performances
Students will have performance opportunities in play-ins, noon recitals,
and a final concert.
Boston is a popular tourist destination in the summer so campus housing is
usually the most cost effective choice as the fees for lodging and meals.
Local hotels are also available in the area usually at a higher cost and
should be booked early in the season.
