Five
years ago Suray Soren started teaching
the violin to students from underprivileged
communities using a scholarship system.
These scholars enjoyed private and
group classes during the week and
on Saturdays joined the an orchestra
with all those violinist from the
Casa de Cultura Rio Institute who
wished to take part, including paying
students. The Suzuki Method is the
greatest link between the students
from different social backgrounds.
Through musical education, these children
and teenagers have the opportunity
to perform in large music halls and
take part in courses and festivals,
contributing to their artistic education.

All of these scholarship students study
at public schools and are aged between
four and sixteen. Some have already
taken part in the instrumental ensembles
“The Little Mozarts” and
“Amadeus”. Ms Suray offers
the teenagers training to become monitors,
which, at the end of the course, leads
them to positions in this capacity,
where they gain experience and opportunities
for future work. The Institute does
not rely on sponsorship of any kind
to keep itself running, which is only
possible through concerts and soirées
in companies, institutions and even
in private homes. |
