SUMMARY:Revisiting Violin/Viola Unit 1
DESCRIPTION:Revisiting Book 1 (Violin & Viola)\nThis 15-hour course is designed for experienced Suzuki teachers who wish to revisit the foundational principles of Suzuki Violin School\, Volume 1. Together\, we will refresh and deepen our approach to teaching beginning students\, guiding them toward a strong technical and musical foundation. \nKey areas of study include: \n\n\nLaying the groundwork with beginners – nurturing posture\, tone production\, and essential technique. \n\n\nParent engagement – strategies for working effectively with new Suzuki parents to build confident home practice habits. \n\n\nGroup class ideas – practical activities and lesson plans for both Pre-Twinkle and Book 1 group settings. \n\n\nTeaching points of Book 1 pieces – a review of the core technical and musical concepts embedded in each piece\, and how to use them to guide students’ progress. \n\n\nMusical development – fostering listening\, phrasing\, and musicianship from the very first lessons. \n\n\nThe course includes 15 hours of live instruction and 3 hours of asynchronous observation\, with carefully selected video observations provided by the instructor. This training may be registered with the Suzuki Association of the Americas (SAA) and is open to all teachers who have completed their SAA Book 1 training and want to renew their perspective with practical\, classroom-ready tools.
