Violin Teaching Strategies

Teaching Strategies is designed to support and guide teacher participants in how to become more effective in their teaching. Strategies will reinforce the positive aspects and offer constructive feedback on each participant’s lessons. Current SAA teacher development opportunities for feedback also include consultations, Certificates of Achievement, SPA, and Practicum.

Prerequisites: Teaching Strategies is designed for teachers who have already registered Unit 2 or above and available to anyone who wishes feedback on their teaching and has registered at least Unit 1. It is meant to be instrument-specific, although occasional exceptions may be made.

Starting in January 2025, Teaching Strategies will be a prerequisite for Unit 3. Teachers who have already taken Unit 3 will not be required to take Strategies, although we highly recommend it to all teachers.

Dual delivery.

Prerequisites:
ECC or Filosofia
Violin or Viola Basic, Intermediate, or Comprehensive audition
Violin or Viola Unit 1 (or 1a/1b)
