The members of the Latin American Suzuki Associations Committee offer a cordial greeting to all Suzuki communities, as our best wishes for this new year. We also take this moment to share news about the activities that have been carried out in various countries of Latin America.

Suzuki Diploma “THE PATH TO EXCELLENCE”

The Mexican Association of the Suzuki Method (AMMS) shares the news of the first Suzuki Diploma in Latin America. It is a project of continuous training of teachers, whose objective is to strengthen the Suzuki teaching-learning process and to obtain better results at a musical level for students.

Due to the growing need to receive teaching tools and support in the development of classes, AMMS has devised “The Path to Excellence” Diploma for teachers, which will be endorsed by AMMS and registered by the Suzuki Association of the Americas (SAA).

The Diploma will be taught by Teacher Trainers from different countries, allowing the sharing of experiences to create the best strategies in music teaching, facilitate the mastery of teaching the Suzuki method and the ability to transmit it, offer a training for teachers allowing them to see the potential of each student, and offer technical tools to develop the skills required through Suzuki Method books.

These are the current concerns of AMMS, and now part of the occupations of the AMMS, which is committed to providing continuous training to its members.

Together we can reach a “better world through music” Shinichi Suzuki.
