Mark Kay says it began with just two student and those students will return for an anniversary concert in June adding "they are coming to play as professionals, one of the pieces they played when they were students here." The Suzuki Method of musical instruction isn't about turning out professional musicians, Mary Cay says the goal is to "encourage growth in a developmentally friendly way."
