Dear Suzuki Friends in Taiwan,

　I am delighted to congratulate all of the children who were chosen to play a solo at today’s concert. I know you have all spent many hours working to play with beautiful tone and beautiful heart in the spirit of Dr.Suzuki. In addition I would like to thank of all of the parents who are so important to the success of the children, as well as the wonderful Suzuki teachers of Taiwan who have provided such excellent teaching.

　It is a great pleasure for me to know that Ivy Huang has begun the Suzuki flute program in Taiwan. She is a wonderful flutist and teacher and I know that under her guidance, Suzuki flute in Taiwan will continue to grow and flourish.

　During my travels around the world as a Suzuki Flute Teacher Trainer i have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful students, teachers and parents, as well as hear wonderful concerts. I offer my congratulations and best wishes to all of the perfomers today..I am sorry that I am unable to hear you in person. I send you my warmest wishes from CANADA and look forward to a time when i will be able to visit Taiwan and hear the concert in person!

Sincerely,

　 恭喜所有本次音樂會獲得甄選通過的孩子們，我為你們感到喜悅，同時也感受到你們為了達到鈴木先生所傳遞“優美的心，優美的聲音“所投入的努力及用心。感謝所有家長，在孩子學習的過程當中你們扮演著極為重要的角色，也感謝每一位鈴木指導教師於教學的深深耕耘。

　得知黃怡萍受訓完畢後在台灣致力於鈴木長笛教學，為此深感榮幸。她是位優秀的長笛家與長笛老師，而我深知在她的暢導之下，TSA長笛科將持續萌芽，綿延繁茂。

　在指導師訓及學生的過程中必須往來於世界各地，有幸能遇見許多傑出的學生、家長以及聆聽許多場絕妙的音樂會。 很抱歉無法親身前往聆聽這場音樂會， 獻上來自加拿大最溫暖深厚的祝福，並期待有朝一日能夠到場聆聽演出。
