Nurturing Studio Parents by Love

Nurturing Suzuki Parents by Love

A 10-hour enrichment course for Suzuki teachers of all instruments who have registered Unit 1 on their training profile

Every Suzuki teacher understands the magic of the Suzuki triangle—teacher, parent, and child working together to nurture a student’s ability and character. But have you ever considered that this triangle also holds the power to nurture parents themselves? Parents, like children, benefit from encouragement, growth, and the loving guidance that lies at the heart of the Suzuki philosophy.

In this brand-new course, Suzuki Violin Teacher Trainer Stacy Garner and veteran Suzuki Cello Teacher Brittany Gardner share insights from over four decades of combined experience to help you cultivate thriving, supportive relationships with studio parents. Together, we’ll explore the practical essentials such as scheduling, policies, and communication, as well as the bigger picture: growth mindset, relationship care, managing difficult conversations and situations with studio parents, and even ability development for parents.

Through stories, strategies, and lively discussion, you’ll discover fresh ways to support parents on their own journey, deepening their capacity to contribute to their child’s musical growth, all while making your work as a teacher easier and more satisfying.
