Every Child Can

Every Child Can! (ECC!) is a non-instrument specific introduction to Dr. Suzuki’s philosophy and its application to Suzuki education. For parents, teachers, prospective teachers, and others, this course provides an inspiring, in-depth look at the Suzuki approach to teaching and learning. Teachers of all instruments are welcome. 

In addition to exploring the elements of the Suzuki approach and its far-reaching goals, it includes an introduction to learning styles, history of the development of Suzuki education, the role of parents, the importance of Suzuki pedagogical training, and an overview of the SAA’s role in supporting teachers and parents. A fast-paced, engaging and thoughtful program, ECC! includes video materials and SAA-developed materials and provides each participant with useful reference manuals for later study.

For teachers pursuing Suzuki training, ECC! serves as the prerequisite course for all additional training in the Suzuki Association of the Americas’ Teacher Development Program.

You must be 18 years old and done with high school in order to participate.

The Heart of America Suzuki Association will be giving all participants a complimentary one-year membership at the completion of ECC!

The tuition for this course is being subsidized by a generous donor who wants to encourage Suzuki training and teacher development within the Heart of America region.

Register by Sept 1 to receive a hard copy of the ECC participant manual; participants who register later will receive a PDF participant manual.

Schedule:
Saturday, Sept 20th 1-4pm
Sunday, Sept 21st 1-4pm
