“Let’s light up the sky with gratitude!”With the end of the school year approaching, it’s an opportune time to dedicate a star for an individual, group, or a special event that has happened during the past year. Perhaps you’d like to honor that exceptional teacher who exhibited an extra ounce (or mile) of patience or a fellow parent who encouraged you along your Suzuki journey. You could also honor your program, a school celebration or concert, or even a SAA sponsored event, such as a Parents as Partners talk. Watch this touching video and join the many others in “thanking our lucky stars” as we strive to light up the SAA Galaxy of Stars with appreciation.

Host a SPA CourseSuzuki Principles in Action (SPA) is a two day, cross-instrumental course designed to help teachers incorporate Suzuki’s principles effectively in their teaching. The inspiration for SPA came from a need, identified by both Trainers and Teacher Workshop Participants, to deal with the challenges of implementing the knowledge gained from unit courses into the reality of day-to-day studio teaching. Are you interested in hosting a course in your area? We are now accepting applications for SPA courses to be held during the 2015-2015 academic year. Click here for more information!
