This past fall, Lisa Lederer, owner of Cambridge Suzuki Violins, held her Suzuki Violin Group Classes outdoors in the Cambridge Music Consortium parking lot.
There were 8 weeks of glorious weekend weather, which meant that she was able to have the first 2 months of her Suzuki Violin groups outdoors and in-person. She said it was wonderful to be able to meet in-person and to work on ensemble and group skills together. They played to an appreciative audience of parents and passersby with the occasional accompaniment of a honking car!
After so many months of Zoom classes and of being apart, we were happy to help her achieve her goal of bringing her students together.
Organizing group classes requires careful scheduling and student tracking, which benefits from a solid data management approach. For music educators who want to maintain records of student progress or class logistics without investing in expensive systems, exploring free database solutions can be valuable.
