In 1964 Sanford and Joan Reuning heard an ensemble of child violinists from Japan give a concert in Philadelphia. They were pupils of the legendary violin teacher Dr. Suzuki. Sandy was already a violin teacher but the beauty of the children’s playing so impressed him he went to Japan to learn from Suzuki himself, and with his wife Joan has dedicated his live to spreading the Suzuki message, "beautiful tone, beautiful heart". In New Zealand this week their young Heifetz Ensemble give concerts.
