A Play-In is meant to motivate students at multi-levels and will be a very exciting opportunity for your child to participate in a class led by Nancy. It will be similar format to our Suzuki weekly cello group classes. There is ample room for parents and other friends and family to join us as audience.

We will be holding two masterclasses with performers of varying levels at Benzaquen Hall in The DiMenna Center. A masterclass is a combination of a recital and an open lesson. Each performer will play through a piece and then Nancy will work with the student for about 15 minutes as she might in a lesson. Since it is geared for an audience, Nancy will discuss issues and teaching points that you and your child can make use of at home.We invite you to come see a window into how teachers work on building students’ technique and musicality.
