The weekend of March 28-April 1, 2007, marked the first “Residency Weekend” hosted by The Music Within Us program in Palo Alto, California.
Three current high school seniors from the Betty Haag Academy, all of whom began studying violin with Mrs. Haag at age 3 or 4, traveled to California for a weekend of music, mentoring, and fun.
These students were selected on the basis of their overall character development, attitude toward learning, academic performance, commitment to community service, musical aptitude, and ability to represent the ideals of Mrs. Haag’s core teaching philosophy.
Activities included shadowing Dr. Lisa Chu (1993 alum) in her teaching, touring Stanford University, meeting one-on-one with mentors in fields related to the students’ areas of interest (such as medicine, political science, and business), performing in a private concert for The Music Within Us families with Dr. Chu and Mr. Christopher Mah (2001 alum and current “Googler”), and participating in a “talk-show style” panel discussion on the lessons learned through their journey of violin training with Mrs. Haag.
