Thanks, Laurie, for this beautiful and inspiring essay. Laurie, thanks so much for sharing with us so many wonderful things you've learned, especially because your schedule is busy and you are tired. I wish I could be there to see the teachers as they do so many wonderful things, and reading your blog is the next best thing. One theme that comes up over and over is to believe in each student's capabilities, show them that you believe, and watch them grow. It's almost like having religion. Dear Laurie,
Thanks for sharing. Am happy you are learning and having such a great experience. You wrote that the Institiute will be at Estes Park next year. Do you know why? Thank You Ann, As I understand it, the Colorado Suzuki Institute is going to be in Estes next year so that they can have a more centralized place for classes. Currently, the classes require 25 minutes in between for people to climb all over the mountain and take buses to get to them! Also, teachers are required to teach in their condos, which doesn't allow for much privacy over the two-week period. And, there will be more housing options at a lower price range; Estes is more of a town, while Snowmass is pretty much a ski resort.
