Michael Strauss

Michael has used the time during his fellowship to train with a mentor to learn the Suzuki Viola Method. He was able to reconnect with a childhood mentor to realize how similarly both of their musical careers had grown. With hopes to influence and inspire the study and appreciation of music, Michael plans to teach the philosophy of the Suzuki Method to others. Future goals for Michael include being fully certified to teach the entire Suzuki Viola Method, and continuing to use music as a tool for conflict resolution, understanding and insiration.
