Revision Concert
I am writing to inform you about the specific details of the Revision Concert. Revision is very important for the Suzuki Method. It is very important to improve beyond what has been learned.
Therefore, as I mentioned before, please prepare to play the pieces from one or two previous Suzuki Books by memory, not from the book you are currently studying.
Also, the performance will be accompanied by the Suzuki CD. If necessary, we can adjust the speed a little, so at the concert, please tell the person in charge. As a rule, only pieces from Suzuki books are allowed. Also, the piece you are currently studying cannot be played at the revision concert.
Lastly, please be reminded to prepare at least three pieces instead of just one in order to prevent the same pieces from being played at the Revision Concert.
Thank you for your preparation.

About “Adult Instrument Class” after 8 pm
This class is for a mother and father who come to the camp to accompany their child/ren. We assume many of you have never played the cello, but the class is designed to help beginner parents play it. We have some full-size cellos you can borrow for the class if your child's cello is too small for you, so please join casually.
We look forward to having you in the class.
Students of all levels are advised to download the links in this site and practice before the camp
starts.

In the afternoon there will be an Afternoon Solo Concert and a Revision Concert.
Afternoon Concert
For those who applied to play a solo when you enrolled, and filled in a Google Form and accepted.
Revision Concert
For Suzuki Method the revisions are very important part of practice. We believe the repetition makes the musical sensitivities developing higher.
The Revision Concert will be as follows. For everyone ( No exception).
All participants are suggested to perform at the revision concert.
The list is attached, but we would like you to play solos one by one during the concert, following the teacher's instructions, not from the pieces you are currently studying, but from the pieces you already know how to play well.
However, in order to avoid too many students playing the same piece, we ask you to prepare at least three pieces in advance as a general rule.
