This episode comes from a Parent Meetup presentation I shared in February. I share highlights and takeaways from 6 of the classes at the SAU Parent Teacher Convention held in January 2026. Classes included "Playful Practice", "What is Suzuki Philosophy?", "Keynote: Harmony in Music and Life by Anne Frances-Bayles", "Creating a Strong Parent Community", "Tweens and Teens", and the "Parent Panel."
