Violin, Viola, and Cello students of all ages can join us for a fun play-in at the Crystal Spring Farmers Market in Brunswick on Sat., July 26, 2025, 9-10 a.m. A play-in is when students get together and play through a set of music for fun.
Students play any pieces they know from the Suzuki Repertoire List (below) and learn as many of the fiddle tunes (also below) as they can.
There is no rehearsal, so please make sure to thoroughly review the music from the repertoire list.
We will be collecting donations for MSA's scholarship fund.
The play-in will be led by Maine Suzuki teachers. There is no registration fee and you do not need to be a member of MSA. Dress casually and have fun.
Parking at the Market is limited. Please be patient when looking for parking and follow directions from the parking staff and volunteers. Carpooling is encouraged!

Please sign up by July 23, so we can plan for the play-in better by knowing who is coming. There is no fee, and you don't need to be an MSA member.
