Digging Deep for Treasures with Cecille Valoria

Even When We Couldn't See

Cecille Valoria
What do you do when you can't see? Stay tuned to my conversation with my guest, Elizabeth Susan Vista-Suarez, Ph.D. who shares her experiences of not being able to see and what helped her through that period of darkness. Susan or Tutti as I fondly call her has an extensive Curriculum Vitae. She is a full professor for the College of Performing and Visual Arts in the internationally distinguished, Silliman University in Dumaguete City, Philippines. She is the founder of "Ating Pamana" (Our Heritage)--a performing group composed of a choir and rondalla. Aside from teaching, she is a speaker, conductor, pianist, accompanist, choral trainer, artistic director, curriculum developer, a visual artist, solo performer, and author. Her works include a children's picture book, "Julia and the Music of the Light," "Susan's Symphony" (a painting), "Practice Before Theory: An Alternative Approach to Piano Pedagogy" and several other published works.
