Suzuki thoughts

Hi - finally getting my butt to post on here.
In my MFA program (Naropa Univ) we're working now with Ellen Lauren and J.ed Araiza of SITI, creating a new work. J.ed is alright, but Ellen rocks my world. Rocelyn and I had talked in the past about Suzuki, and I have to now say that I really appreciate the work with it - now that I've been taught it by Ellen. She makes all other Suzuki teachers I've had look like they're just going through the motions. We get our asses totally kicked in class, but there are some real results happening.

(Part of me also thinks that a master teacher such as Ellen will find a way to really improve her students no matter what the modality - but I'm glad to be really learning, nonetheless.)
