Dear Mike Hoover,

on behalf of the German Suzuki Association, I would like once again to congratulate you on your all-round successful ANNIVERSARY WORKSHOP at Weinstadt on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of your Suzuki teaching activities at the Music School Unteres Remstal!

Starting with the selection of the excellent teaching team
(consisting exclusively of Suzuki teachers and teacher trainers of the German Suzuki Association):

Kathrin Averdung, violin
Isabel Morey Suau, violin
David Rodriguez Toledo, violin
Astrid Siegmund, violin
Ruth Ortiz, Early Music Education
Max Paetzold, violin
Erika Umanez, cello
Ulrike Volle, cello

the well-prepared pianists

Neil Fellows
Yvonne Bauer
Ralph Bergmann for the evening concert,

and the percussion teacher Uwe Kühner

the whole event was a great success in every way.

The 100 participating violin and cello students and their parents, who cooperated willingly to ensure a smooth course of events, were delighted by the interesting workshop program that included drum sessions for the young children as well as a master class with Rudolf Gaehler for the advanced students .

Dear Mike, you thought of every detail, and your wife made ​​sure that even unexpected situations could be solved. The facilities  at Weinstadt, the catering and accommodation were characterized by good quality, short distances and an undisturbed working environment. For the beautiful evening concert with you, your students and the teacher ensemble as well as the Final Concert, your music school director had made available the wonderful conference and concert center in nearby Waiblingen.

The German Suzuki Association is proud of your vibrant and attractive teaching program.

The arrangements that you have composed specially for this workshop were excellent and there will certainly be many colleagues who would like to use them for their workshops, if you permit.

Thank you for your extraordinary commitment! Children, parents and teachers were enthusiastic about your workshop!

 

On behalf of the German Suzuki Association I wish you and your wife a few days’ rest after this great effort, and send you my warmest greetings!

Kerstin Wartberg
