Violin Unit 1

Participants should be familiar with all the pieces in Suzuki Violin School, Book 1 (international edition) and be prepared to play them by memory in class.

Every Child Can! is the prerequisite introductory course to Suzuki philosophy.

You need to pass a violin or viola audition. Please submit this audition 6 weeks in advance of the course to guarantee time to have it evaluated. Join the waitlist in the meantime. If you find yourself 2 weeks before the course starts, please still submit your audition.

Please note: after June 1st, there is no longer any campus housing available, so any participants signing up after that date will need to find their own off-campus housing.

You must be logged in to your SAA account and have Active Membership to join the course roster, below.

Scroll down to the bottom of this page to the enrollment box, click “+”, then click “get tickets”. Be prepared to pay for the tuition and answer these questions before joining the roster:

• Do you have a music degree? 
• In your best estimation and using this rubric, are you able to play the Basic Audition repertoire? (For this particular Unit 1 course, you are required to submit an audition in advance. Please use the links to help you prepare and submit your audition.)
• Describe your teaching & performing experience on the instrument.

After getting tickets below, you’ll receive a confirmation email from the SAA. 

If the enrollment box is not visible and you only see the waitlist option, this means you are missing an audition or a course prerequisite on your training profile. Join the waitlist while you finish that class. You can check your training profile here: https://suzukiassociation.org/person-profile/

If you have any trouble enrolling or if your profile needs to be updated, please write to [email protected] with the details.
