2008 REPERTOIRE LIST
The 2008 Student Institute Repertoire List is now available. In preparation for DFW WOW, please review the attached pieces up to your most recently studied piece. Final concert selections will be made from the attached repertoire list.
PROGRAM INFORMATION
For the 7th year, DFW WOW is back and it's better than ever. For the fourth year in a row, DFW WOW is a fully-sanctioned SAA Suzuki Institute, complete with teacher training. As always, DFW WOW is designed as a family experience to provide a concentrated course of study with highly-trained and internationally-recognized Suzuki clinicians.

On of the other things that sets DFW WOW apart is the world-class facility, which is perfectly suited for this type of event. All classes, housing, and meals are conveniently located under one roof!

We are again building on the success of our previous years with classes that focus on developing technique, musicality, note reading, and ensemble playing while reinforcing previously learned skills. We are adding a variety of enrichment classes designed to broaden our students' institute experience. Your favorite activities are back, like the "Fun Faculty Recital," "Stories & Songs in the Simulator," and movie night.

Parental participation is essential to the success of the Suzuki method. Parents attend classes with their children and help them to prepare for the next day's classes. Parent seminars are scheduled during optional play-ins. All children 11 years and under should be accompanied by a parent or another responsible, interested adult. It is preferable that there be one adult per child. Childcare is not available during DFW WOW.
TEACHERS
Private teachers are welcome and encouraged to attend and observe their students' classes at no additional charge.

Participants can stay on campus in beautiful guestrooms which include private bath, individual work/study area, digital telephones with dataports and voicemail, cable TV, coffee makers, irons and ironing boards, and daily maid service.
