Recap of our 2024 Piano Play-Ins

Approximately 30 Suzuki Piano students recently played in this year’s Piano Play-Ins in Denver and Colorado Springs. Led by Laura Benson, Tom White, Wendy Lambrech, Carol Jilling and others, Suzuki students from different age groups and backgrounds played as one with their groups at Graner Studios (Colorado Springs) and Classic Pianos (Denver.) Some even came from as far away as Snowmass and Fort Collins.

At the Denver Play-In, we had the special privilege of having Bob Baker, the manager of Classic Pianos and long-time Suzuki pianist himself, give a speech to our budding pianists. Classic Pianos also provides the pianos at our Colorado Suzuki Institute in Beaver Creek every year. As such, we are extremely thankful to Bob and Classic Pianos and we encourage our members to purchase their pianos from Classic Pianos if you’re in the Denver area.

Colorado boasts one of the few Piano Play-Ins in the country (!!!) and we are proud to support this tradition every year! All proceeds from this event go to the SAC scholarship fund which helps Suzuki students and teachers attend Suzuki summer institutes.

Thank you Graner Music, Classic Pianos, and CO Suzuki teachers!

We are always interested in hosting Piano Play-Ins in more areas of Colorado. If you are a teacher and are interested in hosting one in your region, please contact Helen at president@suzukiassociationcolorado.org so that we can brainstorm ways to host one in your area.
