As suggested to us by CYM parent Melanie Drake, the Suzuki Association of Americas is offering a unique learning opportunity for parents of musicians! This program would be great for any family in CYM's programs- we encourage everyone to consider this opportunity- especially families whose children are playing an instrument or preparing to play an instrument.
The Suzuki Association of Americas website describes the program as:
"Parents as Partners Online will provide participants with informative talks on various parent education and Suzuki education topics, presented over the course of 6 weeks. Video sessions are 10 to 20 minutes each; participants can access the site at any time day or night to take advantage of these informative, inspiring and concise presentations. We aim to nurture the parent side of the Suzuki triangle on such invaluable subjects as:
•Practice: building a strong parent-child relationship; managing frustration; strategies for creating a successful practice
•Repetition and Review: the whys and hows
•Balancing Busy Schedules
•Reflections and advice on the Suzuki Journey
•Managing the Teenager Years: The Road to Independence
•The Changing Role of the Parent
•The Importance of Listening
•Childhood Memories of Dr. Suzuki
•Institute Experiences: What it’s all about
•What Current Publications are saying about "Talent"
Once you’ve registered, you'll receive emails with schedule details and other information when available. Online discussions, video presentations, and special "events" are just a few of the opportunities to expect."
If any parent at CYM is interested, please comment to this post so we are able to register CYM as a group to provide access to CYM families free of charge. Also, we would love to have parents convene after the program to share thoughts and ideas about the topics covered.

I'm interested. :)
