Teacher Workshop Guide

Want to put on a Suzuki training workshop

Here are the steps you need to follow as a sponsor:

Download the workshop application for sponsors

Send in the workshop application and fee a minimum of 6 weeks prior to the event start. This form is required for all events occurring between September and May that offer short term teacher training. This application serves two purposes:

  1. to get SAA approval for your workshop, so that it will be a registrable credit for your participants
  2. and provides information about your event for SAA to create free advertising on your behalf on this web page.

We encourage you to submit early, so that the workshop may be advertised on the SAA website. If received by publication deadlines, it may also be published in the “Winter Workshop” column of the American Suzuki Journal.

Requirements

Make sure anyone wishing to attend your workshop knows about the audition requirements for training. (See teacher training video audition application for further information). You or the trainer will need to know prior to the course start who has qualified for it via the audition process, and who has yet to do so (and therefore can enroll as ‘audition pending’ or auditor statuses).

Your application must meet the requirements found in the current Teacher Development Document which apply to Teacher Courses:

  • Book 1 Short Term courses must be 8 days in length, with 28 hrs. class time and 15 hrs. observation time. See the Book 1 Guidelines for more information.

  • Book 2 and beyond Short Term courses must be 5 days in length with 15 hrs. class time and 8 hrs. observation time.
