Violin/Viola Teaching Strategies
September 22 - October 26
$300.00What’s Violin/Viola Teaching Strategies?
Teaching Strategies is a 10-hour course designed to guide teacher participants to become more effective teachers. It was first offered in Latin America in 1997 and has been implemented widely since then with favorable outcomes. Angelica Cortez, Executive Director of the SAA called it “What may be the most important course in the entire SAA curriculum.” For this reason, starting in January 2025, Teaching Strategies will be a prerequisite for Unit 3. This course is highly recommended for all Suzuki teachers.
How it works:
Each participant will submit 2 recordings of 6-10 minutes each, or, if preferred, a teacher may teach one or both lesson segments in person. At least one of the recordings should be of an individual lesson.
Class sessions are similar to a “pedagogy masterclass” where up to 10 participants watch their recordings together and receive positive comments and constructive feedback from the trainer. You must attend all classes to receive credit with the SAA.
Course will be facilitated by Stacy Garner, Suzuki Teacher Trainer, and will be registered with the SAA upon completion of the course.
