Viola/Violin Teaching Strategies

The Teaching Strategies course is designed to support violin and viola teachers in developing more effective, thoughtful, and compassionate Suzuki teaching. Through guided observation, video analysis, collaborative discussion, and constructive feedback, participants will strengthen their pedagogical skills while deepening their understanding of Suzuki philosophy in practical teaching situations. Teachers will share short lesson recordings and receive feedback in a respectful and supportive environment that encourages reflection, self-evaluation, and the exchange of ideas among colleagues. Teaching Strategies is a prerequisite for Unit 3 training and is considered a core component of Suzuki teacher development.
