Cello Unit 1

Book 1 and Pre-Twinkle sets up 75% of the Foundational work of Cello playing.

ECC is a required pre-requisite.

The Requirements include: 2 book reports; 2 wrapups; 2 practicals which include playing the material for me from memory demonstrating the teaching points; and 15 hours of observation (online, outside of class). The practicals may be additional hours to class time, depending on enrollment. You will need a partner to demonstrate Pre-Twinkle setup.

This year, the SAA is “highly encouraging, but not requiring, an audition for Unit 1 training in North America.” I highly encourage the audition now.

When you pay me the course fee of $500 (zelle: [email protected]), I will send you the course materials. Contact me with questions: [email protected]

You must be logged in to your SAA account and have Active Membership to join the course roster and pay the nonrefundable $20 deposit, below.

Scroll down to the bottom of this page to the enrollment box, click “+”, then click “get tickets”. Follow the prompts to enter your payment information 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?
• Describe your teaching & performing experience on the instrument.

After getting tickets below, you’ll receive a confirmation email from the SAA with details on how to pay the balance of the course tuition. Check your spam folder if you don’t see it in your inbox.

If the enrollment box is not visible and you only see the waitlist option, it means you are missing the course prerequisite of ECC on your training profile. Please join the waitlist while you complete that requirement. You can verify your waitlist status from your profile: 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. 

All transactions are final and non-refundable.
