Yesterday a wonderful Suzuki grouplesson of book 1 and 2 took place at the pianoshop of Bol & Sanders at the Ceintuurbaan in Amsterdam. 16 children were playing with lots of enthousiasm pieces from book 2 and 1. They were all students of Suzuki pianoteachers Jana Neplechovits, Janece Milos and Heleen Verleur. While book 2 children were performing, book 1 children did a Quiz that Heleen had made for this occasion. Five winners got a prize and the others a consolation prize (Chinese fortune coockies).
Here are some photos and the Quiz.

At the end of the lesson the Canadian concertpianist Bernard Duerksen gave a beautiful mini recital with works of Mozart, Rachmaninov, Liszt and Chopin. The children were impressed by the sound that came out of his grandpiano.
Later in the afternoon Bernard Duerksen gave masterclasses to our students. I will tell more about that in a following message.
