The stage is their world
It's not every 4-year-old who can say he or she has already performed on stage before an audience of 2,000.
But that's the tale that the youngest members of the Suzuki violin program with the NAU Community Music and Dance Academy have to tell following last Sunday's Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra Holiday Concert at the Pepsi Amphitheater.
"It's all about getting them comfortable on stage," said Karin Hallberg, the program's coordinator who also directed the performance.
In all, there were 26 students ranging in age from 4 to 14 on stage Sunday. They had just two rehearsals but seemed in tune and in synch as they ran through a medley of popular tunes.
Hallberg, who is a professor of music at NAU, said the Suzuki program was founded by fellow music professor and FSO violinist Louise Scott in 1981. Some of the early students still play and teach violin in Flagstaff today -- several FUSD and charter schools have their own programs.

“We realize how important it is for us to know our audience members and for the audience to know us personally,” Morse said. “It’s also a wonderful opportunity for the audience to meet these musicians.”
Morse, who is celebrating her 20th season with the CSO, said the No. 1 question she’s asked by curious music lovers is: “Is the violin the hardest instrument to play?”
“As a joke, we go, ‘Well, of course it is,’” she said.
In seriousness, Morse added that anyone can make a sound on an instrument, but to make a pleasing sound requires training. For string players, coordination of the bow hand and the left hand is imperative. Morse and Neidhold will demonstrate this coordination at today’s lunch....
