This year, you’ll be able to experience the joy and energy of Stringtacular at home during a special online performance featuring 250 of Merit’s talented strings students. Merit’s Suzuki-Alegre students are renowned for their extraordinary talent and fusion of Latinx folk music with the Suzuki method. They have performed at the opening of the National Museum of Mexican Art, played for President Vicente Fox of Mexico, toured Japan, made several television appearances, and experienced the joy and power of music in their lives. Photos from Stringtacular 2019 ABOUT MERIT’S SUZUKI-ALEGRE STRINGS PROGRAM For more than twenty years, Merit School of Music has been combining the Suzuki Method of music instruction with a diverse array of music from Latinx culture to create a performance-based program of violin, viola, cello, and bass classes taught across the Pilsen and Little Village neighborhoods and at Merit’s West Loop campus. Suzuki-Alegre Strings weaves ensemble learning and multiple music traditions into the time-honored tenets of the Suzuki method: listening, imitation, repetition, and parent participation.
