Farewell from theDeputy Chairman
Ät the next Ännual General Nleeting ofthe ESA, planned for this autumn, I w'illstep down as Depuq' Chairman of theESÄ. In accordance with my message tothe ESÄ Board at the last board meeting,my decision is based on my personalbelief that it is healthy for an organisationto change leadership at regular intervals.This is the main reason for my decisionand also that I have become increasingll'busy qri16 my research work in the f,reld
of intemational arts policl, andmanagement, and would like to havemore time to pursue this.
I became a board member of the ESA in1987 and have seen a great deveiopmentin Suzuki teachiflg in Europe since then.The ESA itself has also changed. Frombasically being a club of dedicatedteachers who had studied with Dr. Suzukiin Japan and who had a burnirlg desire tobnng his ideas to Europe, theorganisation has developed into a trulymulti national organisation, channellingcommunication and facilitating Suzukiteacher trainirrg. The teacher training was
qrute nghtlv the mailr focus of the ESÄfrom the beginning, and remains so tothrs da1'. The Pan European structure ofteacher training courses as well as directfunding through the Eutopean SuzukiTeaching Development Trust has createda secure basis for future development. Allthis urth a primafl: focus on qualiq,.
In mv rvork for the ESA it has always
bcen an important goal for me to makesure that the energl' and the tremendousdedicauon of all rvho participate infurthering the Suzuki Äpproach inEurope is channelled to good use. Oneimportant factor in this context is the
structure and management of the ESÄitself. T1're ES-\ must at all tirnes be an
organisation which prirnarill, sen'es itsmembers and is not only a self fulfillingcentralised bureaucracl,. I think we har.e
succeeded in this task. The key role ofthe nauorral Suzuli associations, ourpolicies ofl the structure and finances ofthe ESÄ as rvell as teacher training, are all
kev factors in makrng the ESA u,'ork. It isalso mv opinion that our strength also
comes through our di'u'ersifi. Ourdiversitr-, based on our different cultures,
different languages and differentexperience is a strength, ifrve respect
each others differences and hsten to each
other.
In mv u,crk as Depufi Chairman I have
had the privrlege to work rvith some ofthe rnost dedicated professionals I have
ever met. European Suzuki teachersand teacher trainers in all fields nevercease to
^rnaze rle with their
tremendous eners', creativih' andprofessionalism. These, wrth theirknowledge and dedicatiofl, are thebiggest investment of the ESÄ. I havealso eniol,ed working with colleagues irr
other parts of the wodd, notably on theBoard of Directors of the ISA. Our\rice-President Henry Turner fromwhom I took over the DeputyChairmanship has always been helpfuland supportive when I have needed
advice. I have been inspired by our dearChailperson, Fürstin Eleonore zu Salm-Salm, who with her support, §/armthand generosity has been and isinvaluable to the ESÄ's work. To all ofthese wonderful people I would like toextend mv gratirude and thanks for ailthe vears of fruitful co-operation.
The one persofl with rvhom I har-e
rvorked closest durhg my years as
Deputy Chairman is the ESL'sadministrator Birte Kelly. I hope that al1
of vou realise what a tremefldous asset
Birte is to the ESA. She runs theorganisation effectir.ell-, skrlfully' andahvay's with a positive and constructiveapproach to anr. challenge. We are
extremel). luck,v that Birte agreed at thelast -\GlI to be elected Deputl'Chairman elect and that she rrali take
o\rer as mY successor this autumn.
Birte and I have Iived in nvo differentcountries during m1'pedod as DcpuhChairman. Ilodern technologl- has
made it possible ior us lo cornmrrniclleas if ure rve re rvorkirg ir-r the samc
office - and it has ofien felt as if u.e did.It has not bccn uncommon that rve
pass ltve to tcfl e mail messages, faxes
or telephonc calis bctrveen us even'davof the rveek, making both of us
passionate admirers of the L-rtcrnct andothcr rnodern communrcatior-rs toolsl Iam cxtrernell grateful for havirrg had
3
the opportunity to work with Birte andrvould like to thank her for herinvaluable service and generosity to theESÄ. XI)'best wishes to her in her newrole as Depuq Chairman.
Älthough I wrll be leaving the post ofDepuq' Chairman of the ESÄ at thenext ÄGN{, I wül continue to be
involved, indirectly, in theorganisation's activities as Suzukiteacher and teacher trainer. I will also
condnue, for the rime being. as
Chairman of the Board of Trustees ofthe European Suzuki TeachingDevelopment Trust, working towardsfi.d-g funding for new teachertraining proiects and supportingexisting ones.
Havrng worked in the professionalmusic wodd as an orchestral plal'er,teacher, chief executive of orchestras,principal of a governmeflt fufldedmusic school, in the academic wodd as
researcher and on various governmentmusic education committees, I have
come to realise what difference the
Suzuki Äpproach has made to theEuropean music communiq,. Dr.Suzuki's thoughts have, in many cases,
changed the way peoples andgovernmeflts vierv music education. Itis therefore irnportant to rememberthat it is not the personalities invoh,edbut the pnnciples of Suzuki teachilg inmusic and their interaction with themusic communih' as a rvhole rvhich are
the focus of a hea1th1. development.
I wish the ESA and all Suzuki teachers,
pareflts and children all the best for thcfuture.

First Suzuki Violin Examsin South Africa
In 1999 the South African SuzukiAssociation (SASA), now an associate
member of ESA, was founded by a
group of parents and teachers. TheESTDT has helped fund a violinteacher training programme directedby Christophe Bossuat, the first formalSuzuki teacher training course in SouthAfrica. It follows earlier visits byChristophe Bossuat on the inr.itation ofNicolette Solomon, a South Africanviolin teacher who trained in France,but has since moved to the USA
In December 2001,, a group of sixSouth African violin teachers passed
the first IISA exams held there, withChristophe Bossuat and KarenKimmett as teacher trainer-examiners.Karen Kimmett also started a new level
one course with ll participants.Further course sessions are planned forApril, Jull and December 2002. TheESTDT has given help towards the
cost of airfares, and is grateful toChristophe and Karen for the donationof their time to this project, and to the
SASA for organising the courses.
New Cello Course in HungaryIn July 2001 the first ESA cello exams
were held in Hungarl', following a
long-term course directed by AnetteCostanzi, and supported by theESTDT. We are grateful to theHungarian Suzuki Association fororganising the course, and to AnnetteCostanzi both for her rvork and for herfundraising efforts on behalf of the
Trust, covering the cost of most of the
grants given to this proiect. The cellocourse continues, together with trainingfor r.iolin and piano, also supported bythe ESTDT.
The violin teacher training programme inHungary was the first developmentproject to be started in Europe (from1994), k owes much to the dedicationand hard work of Tove and B6laDetreköy, who have donated all theirtime and most of their own expenses
over many years, with kind and generoushelp from other teachers including
Jeanne Janssens, Belgium and MarjaOlamaa, Finland. The first grant madeby the Trust was to the Hungarian violinprogramme (October 1995).
Other recent and future proiects
The trust has supported introductorycourses for piano teachers in the CzechRepublic and Slovakia, as well as a lectureat a European Piano TeachersConference in Budapest. Piano TeacherTrainers Ruth Miura france) and fuittaKotinurmi @inland) have held coursesfor teachers in Lithuania. All these andother areas may become future venuesfor major programmes similar to thoseestablished in Poland and Hungary.
Interest in Suzuki Method and TeacherTraining has also been expressed byindividuals living in many othercountries, such as Greece, Slovenia,Macedonia, Egypt and Russia. The trustis aiming to finance new projects in up toten different countries over the next five

combination of individual lessons forteachers and workhops with our pupils.
The rvorkshops were directed by bothTove and 861a, and it was exciting and
beneficial to be taught by and work withthem both. As it was not possible to holdexams here, we visited either Denmark orBelgium, and got to know parts of the
wider Suzuki communiq, very well, a mostpositive experience.Throughout we have been deliberatrnghow best to organise Suzuki teaching here,
and last )'ear ure fina1ly decided to foundour o$'n nationa] association. This u,a:r
formally ageed at a meeting held on 1,,
September 2001. Our first commiftee was
elected as follows: Sämai Petersen(chairman), Annette Nielsen (secretar\),

Viola: Nine years have passed since Istarted to teach Suzuki Viola Schooi byusing "the large tone vioLin" as we call it.Three students aged four, started violaplal,ing with 1/6 violins and continuedu.ith viola sounding instruments madefrom 1f 8-siz-e violins bl' a neu, s\.stem.
Toda1, I can sa)' that it has been a good§/a)' to teach. It is simply the cheapcstalternative rvith a big tone right from thestart t() a real viola.Nou' w-c l-rave taken the next step todevelop viola teaching in Finland: Weneeded a viola school lor music reacling
in our ou'n language. The first part of theFinnish viola school is weiting irs turn tobe printecl. It has grown up from thefertile field of Suzuki teaching and wehope that it rvill help not only Suzukiteachers, but all viola teachers in I;inland.We have now created "tools" and onepath to teach viola piaying from 4 1-earolds to 100. Lets see how many teachers
are using it after next ten Years....Our Suzuki viola plavers were perlormingin the r raditional Christmas concerrorganised by the Finnish Suzuki;\ssociation and took part the nationalworksl.rops in I(our.ola and Ellivuori,Vammaia and of course in vcr\ man)'local concerts during this year 2001..

FRANCEWe first of all t'ish to erpress our deepest
slmpathv u,ith the American people äfterthe recent catastrophes suffered bv theircountfl'. We also remember the Suzukipeople §,ho had relatir''es, friends and col-leagues killed in these terrible events. Wejoin 1'ou in praling that such e\.enls \1,ill notbe perpetuated and that oui go\rerrunents
will take the right decisions in handlingthese hard times.
These events are trig;ering even mote the
energX', the purpose and the meaning of the
work we do with children:
. Usir€ music to develop children's sen-
sitir.iq, - not ag4essiono Teachir8 them to Iisten to each other,
not shouting nor shooting at each
other!
. Helpir€ them to discot er their ou'nvoice widr sound, getting them intouch with their ou,n beauq' not stu-
pidi§'r Having them realise the universal
sense and bond among human beings
with music - not sense of flght coun-
tr), to countr),.There is urgenq ! I remember Dr Suzuki
asking me twenq'),ears ago, 'how manystudents are )'ou teaching?" I ansu,ered,
proud of myself, "fiS/'. He said, "only!" Iunderstand much better today u,hat he
meant then. There is enormous urgeng, togt'r the children of this world a chance fora better education, ancl music is sure\ one
of the best tools r,",e can use. Do it as muchas )-ou can right nou,! We iuill need it. Thisrr,zs the meaning of the message of Dr Su-
zuki. When u.e look at the u,orld nou., his
mess4]e is even more reler.ant and porgn-ant. I-et us continue our u,ork with moreenergy, and hope, so that rrrore and morechildren cafl leam how to trig3er the best rn
themseh..es, not iust to pull the trigger.
Now some news about our country,:Years 2000-2001 have lxen full of activitl'lor our pennanent tercher trarning pro-grramme with more than 20 participanrs onviolin and ce1lo, coming ftom all pans of the

Children ftom Icelandalso parricipated in workshops in France,England and HungaryCurrentiy, the Suzuki method is practised in11 Icelandic music schools, violin, piano,cello, viola and singing being taughr Thereare 600 children on the rraiting jists forSuzuki lessons. Unforn:natel1,, both schoolsand teachers qualified to teach this methodare in short supply and this situation is,
sadly, difficult to change. There are around30 Suzuki teachers teaching in Iceland.Workshops for violin teachers are beingconducted and a workshop for pianoteachers will start soon. We also hope to setup a trainiflg course for cello teachers.In December 2001, children from theIcelandic Suzuki Association were invitedto perform, together with the IcelandicSlmphony Orchestra, Bach's Concerto forTwo Violins (1st movement) and a
selection of Chrisnr-ras carols.
