Viva Suzuki 2013
Changing Children's Lives Through Music  

Planning for our annual fund raising concert is already underway! This week you'll be receiving a Viva Suzuki Brochure and Pledge Sheet from your studio teacher, outlining the fund raising effort associated with our big year end concert.

This year there's an exciting prize draw for students!
  • Students who collect a minimum of $30 in pledges and remit their pledge sheets and funds before the deadline of April 27, 2013, will receive a free family pass to the Viva Suzuki concert and be entered in the prize draw! Plus, for every $10 collected above the initial $30, that student will receive an extra entry in the draw.

  • Draw Prizes include: a season's pass to Calypso Water Park; free registration to SuzukiMusic's Summer Camp; an ukulele, swag bags and more...

  • The prize draw will take place on our final group class day, May 4, 2013 at 12:30pm sharp!

If your business or someone you know may be interested in sponsoring our school this year, we are seeking donors and sponsors for the Viva Suzuki campaign at this time. 

All of the donation and advertising rates can be found in our Corporate Sponsorship and Advertising handout or simply reply to this email and we'll give you the details! It's that easy.

Your support helps us continue to provide exciting programming at our school; quality Suzuki training for our faculty; and you'll also be helping children at our sister school, Vision Nouvelle in Haiti, continue to enjoy quality music education.

Thanks to all of our supporters and donors!

Students' Corner

 If you're interested in making a friend from our sister school in Haiti, Vision Nouvelle, please email us with:
  • Your name, age and the instrument you play.
  • Your letter writing preference: in French, English or if either language is fine.

Yvrose, our coordinator with Vision Nouvelle, will try and match you with a student and you can begin exchanging letters and getting to know each other. For more information about our sister school, visit our website
