Event DescriptionA heterogeneous string class taught using the concepts of the Suzuki Method has the interest of many string teachers. This Suzuki in the Schools course explores the application of the Suzuki philosophy and materials for classroom success.
The 23-hour course includes 15 hours of classroom instruction, 5 hours of observation and supervised teaching in a Violin B class, and three hours of observation of the trainers in orchestra and group classes. Trainer will provide videos of working with public school classes for participants interested in additional observations.
Participants wishing to register the course with the SAA must have completed and registered ECC and Book 1 in their individual instrument.
This course is designed with a focus on group learning and practice. In addition to discussion of core Suzuki Book 1 material, additional repertoire and methodology are included in the class structure. Materials feature unison ensemble materials that enhance technical work and provide ensemble foundations. An expansive pre-Twinkle section includes materials and strategies for pre-twinkle solo and group work. Technical work for all string instruments will be covered through the “Rigadoon/Etude” solo level. Foundational concepts of literacy and sequential development of ensemble skills are woven into this curriculum. Other topics such as mastery, group learning, student engagement, and parent education and involvement will be discussed.
