14 In Memoriam Gabriella Bosio, ESA Harp Teacher Trainer & Founder Suzuki Harp School ITALY Gabriella Bosio, ESA Harp Teacher Trainer and Founder of the Suzuki Harp School in Italy, sadly passed away 9 November 2022. I taly was the first European country to apply the SUZUKI™ Method to Harp in 1987. Antonio Mosca, the Director of the Suzuki Music School in Turin, encouraged Gabriella to get involved in developing the SUZUKI™ Method for Harp. Although Gabriella had been teaching at the Conservatoire for nearly twelve years, she soon realised that teaching young children to play the Harp required a totally different approach. In 1999, Gabriella was appointed as a ESA Teacher Trainer for SUZUKI™ Harp and the first Teacher Training courses were organised in Italy. Tribute from Macro Messina, ESA Country Director Italy On behalf of the enƟre Italian Suzuki movement, I can express the sadness of this painful loss. Gabriella taught with her life and for her, every big concert, lesson or single performance was her life. Gabriella worked for the SUZUKI™ movement in the best possible way by building a community of harpists who now lose a great teacher but inherit a great heritage of professionalism and enthusiasm that I am sure they will pass on to future generaƟons in Italy and Europe. Thank you Gabriella. Tribute from Harp Teachers - Ester GaƩoni, Tiziana Loi, Alessandra Magrini, NicoleƩa Sanzin, Emiliana Sessa Words in these moments always seem inadequate to fully express the empƟness we are already feeling. However, it seems only right to pay homage to a personality so rich in nuances. Generous, volcanic, sunny, inclusive and capable of communicaƟng her joy of making music at all levels. Only a great person and musician, with a deep and never banal culture, endowed with an uncommon intelligence could unite, in the name of love for the harp, people so different from each other. You will always be our guide, Ciao Gabri!
