Message from the Directors October 9, 2009 Greetings! We are excited to celebrate our 4th year now since reviving the Oregon Suzuki Association. Our initial fall meeting on October 2nd proved to be a productive and fun reunion of existing and new members. Thanks to Sarah Hart for hosting the meeting. If you haven't renewed your membership there is still time to do so. Please use the membership form to update your information. To cut down on administrative work we are renewing memberships every year in the fall. Please note that membership is now $25.00. All members will automatically be added to the yahoo list serve and also will be listed on our website. Please indicate on the membership form the information you would like to share on the website in regards to contact information. We look forward to seeing you at our monthly teacher forums. They will be held on the first Friday of every month with the exception of December, January and June. Please find below the topics, dates, locations and hosts. All meetings are held from 9:30 to 11:00 AM.
We hope that this year helps us develop as Suzuki teachers, network and inspires our members to host special events. Please forward any comments and helpful advice via the yahoo list serve address:
April 2007 Dear Oregon Suzuki teachers, As we wrap up this school year we are ending with a student play-in event to help build community among our studios. You should have received information in the mail about this event, but all forms and information is also available under the Events page of this website. We want to thank Tayva Turner for coordinating the student play-in! She is doing a fabulous job and we hope that you support her and the OSA by volunteering at the event. Please also make sure to thank her for her hard work! If you are interested in taking Suzuki violin teacher training with Martha Shackford there will be a class started this September. Teacher trainees will get trained in violin books 1-10 and will be able to register their training with the Suzuki Association of the Americas (SAA) upon completion of the course and its requirements. The training that Martha has been doing for the past two years has been offered through the Community Music Center, but please note the training is being moved to the Oregon Suzuki Talent Education Center (OSTEC) as of September 2007. Please contact Martha at marthashackford@comcast.net or OSTEC Director Tamara Theodosis at tamara@orsuzuki.com for more information about the training. Also, information about the teacher training class is available on the OSTEC website at: www.orsuzuki.com Please make sure to watch your mail and email for notices to renew your OSA membership. Laurita Jauregui de Campero is in charge of registration and will send out renewal notices this spring. The schedule of events for the 2007-2008 school year will soon be set. Please email Tamara or Laurita if you have ideas for events or would like to chair an event or host a teacher party. Take care and we hope to see you all at the May 19th play-in! Thank you!

Dear Oregon Suzuki teachers,
Please remember this is your association, so please make sure to attend the annual meeting on September 16 to voice your thoughts and ideas. Please see the Current Events section on the OSA website for details. At our annual meeting we will brainstorm events for the 2006-2007 school year and decide who will chair each event. There is more Suzuki teacher training in Oregon than ever! At the Community Music Center in southeast Portland Martha Shackford will start another two year long-term Suzuki violin teacher training course in books 1-10, and Charlene Wilson will begin a one year Suzuki cello teacher training course covering cello books 1-5. There are also two Every Child Can! courses happening this fall in the Portland area as well as Suzuki violin group class teacher training. For those of you who are interested in getting a graduate degree along with Suzuki violin pedagogy training, please contact Judy Weigert Bossuat at the University of Oregon. Please see the Current Events section on the OSA website for more details. Please make sure to watch your mail and email for notices to renew your OSA membership. Laurita Jauregui de Campero is in charge of registration and will send out renewal notices this fall. We are always trying to improve communication! Notices of events are sent out to all Oregon SAA members by mail. In addition to mailed notices, the OSA maintains a group email list, which is a free service of Yahoo! groups. This email list is an easy way to keep communication free and easy, and we use it to brainstorm ideas by email rather than have frequent meetings. If you’d like to join the email list please send an email to Tamara. Our beautiful state is rather large and Oregon Suzuki teachers are spread out over a wide geographical area. This makes it difficult to plan events that all Oregon teachers and their students can attend. There has been interest in starting a southern Oregon chapter of the OSA. We need a couple of OSA teachers willing to work together to create this chapter. Please send an email to both Tamara and Laurita if you are interested. Thank you!
