About the Teacher

Picture
Christine Chan is a member of the Suzuki Association of the Americas. She has been a Suzuki parent since 1987, and a Suzuki teacher since 1988 under the mentorship of Caroline Fraser. She is formally trained to book 3, observed classes to book 7 and has taught up to book 6. Christine has also studied under Constance Starr and Mary Craig Powell as well as attending yearly Suzuki Institutes to observe master classes for all levels of Doris Kopplemann, Dorris Harrel, Caroline Fraser, etc. and has attended workshops by Peggy Swingle, Mark Steiner, Betty Wu, Roy Bogas, and more. Christine emphasizes the importance of music reading and for skill development she will sing, demonstrate, use appropriate object lessons, analogies, and questions of discovery to help students feel accomplished at the lesson. She has over 20 years of teaching experience. She had been on faculty at Creative Arts for Kids but she mainly teaches from a home studio. Utilizing the philosophy mentioned in "Nurtured by Love" by Dr. Suzuki, she respects the individuality of each student and teaches holistically with care and encouragement.
