11 I graduated in flute in 1990 and since then I have become a concert player giving concerts in many countries of the world as a soloist, in chamber music groups and in collaboraƟon with numerous Italian and European orchestras. It was my passion for music educaƟon that led me in 1996, to discover the Suzuki Method. The Suzuki Method has not only changed my way of teaching but has given a wonderful perspecƟve to my work - that of teaching and helping to educate children through music. The Suzuki Method has involved both my family and my everyday life. I have a daughter who grew up with the Method and a Suzuki School that I am commiƩed to every day. The enthusiasm and the passion it has insƟlled in me has spurred me on to commit myself to contribuƟng to the naƟonal and internaƟonal Suzuki insƟtuƟons (ISI and ESA) and to give it my all so that the Method, the teachers, families and the children all benefit from such an extraordinary idea. The Suzuki School I founded with some other teachers celebrated twenty-four years of acƟvity this year and I have had many opportuniƟes to collaborate with all Suzuki teachers, not only fluƟsts both in Italy and abroad. In my role as arƟsƟc director of the Italian Suzuki InsƟtute, I directed the Suzuki GraduaƟon Concert Italia in 2015 and 2018 and organised both the 2nd Italian Suzuki Children’s ConvenƟon in 2016 and the 11th European Suzuki Children's ConvenƟon in 2022. In 2020, I conceived and organized the SUZUKI™ Lesson Link Up. For several years I have been coordinaƟng the Suzuki flute secƟon at the Falaut Campus in Salerno, an internaƟonal event that involves hundreds of world-renowned fluƟsts every year. I enthusiasƟcally collaborate in the development and disseminaƟon in both Italy and Europe of the CML (Children's Music Laboratory) program, designed to support the global educaƟon of children through music. In 2018 the CML program was recognized by the Italian Ministry of EducaƟon, University and Research (MIUR). Having started my Suzuki training in 2006, the following year I organised the training course in Italy which I have conƟnued to be involved in beyond my fiŌh level. As a country director at ESA I have had the opportunity to deepen my knowledge of training courses and to parƟcipate in the decision making relaƟng to their organisaƟon and content. On both a personal level and through my involvement as a teacher, I have used not only every lesson and every interacƟon with children, parents and teachers but also the wider experience as an opportunity to learn. Nothing is equal to another. As a teacher trainer I want to both share my experience with other teachers and to receive their experience to enrich mine. I would like to be able to contribute to the development of the Suzuki Method by working with the other Teachers in a community that aspires to the quality, effecƟveness and contemporaneity of teaching. 2022 Teacher Trainer Appointments Marco Messina FLUTE, ITALY
