Ready for a more in-depth Suzuki learning experience? If you’ve taken our Every Child Can!<\/em> course, the next step is to submit an audition. Passing an audition will allow you to take instrument-specific courses, starting with Unit 1 (also called Book 1), which will give you direct tools for supporting students. Once you take Unit 1, you become eligible for a wide variety of enrichment courses, Teaching Strategies, Practicum, and Unit 2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that in 2026, as part of a pilot program, the SAA is highly encouraging, but not requiring, an audition for Unit 1 training<\/strong> in North America (please see the note below regarding Central and South America.\u00a0Learn more about the pilot at this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SAA team is here to support you as you prepare for the audition process – we want everyone to have a successful experience! We require auditions because we believe great musicianship is part of great music education. Read the audition process and requirements below, and reach out to us at info@suzukiassociation.org<\/a> if you have any questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please be aware that in Central and South America<\/strong>, the audition process may be different based on the event or course you are attending. Some events require that you pass auditions prior to the event, while others may require you to pass an audition at the end of the course. Check with your course host for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audition Fees & Timeline<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Audition Fee<\/strong>: $65<\/strong>, North America | $25<\/strong>, Central & South America<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submission<\/strong> Deadline<\/strong>: We encourage you to submit your audition 6-8 weeks in advance of your target course to allow ample time to receive your results and secure a spot. It can take 2-3 weeks to receive audition results. Some classes fill up several weeks in advance, while others may be canceled if the enrollment is low. We recommend that you join the waitlist for your desired course while you wait for your audition results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will receive an email notifying you of your audition results. You’ll also see the audition credential on your profile once you pass. If you don’t pass, you may be able to resubmit the audition based on the feedback you receive.
