h3. SAA Teacher Training Requirements
Training Prerequisites and Course Order
To take Suzuki teacher training, teachers must be Active members of the SAA. Every Child Can! (ECC) is required prior to taking BOok1. Courses must be taken in order through Book 2: ECC, Book 1, Book 2, etc.
Audition Requirement
To qualify as a participant in Suzuki teacher training courses, applicants must submit a DVD video audition to the SAA, preferably prior to course enrollment. DVDs should be submitted at least 8 weeks prior to the course start date, with the required fee and a completed application form. For courses occurring during the summer, appicants submitting auditions later than March 31 may not receive audition results prior to the course, even if meeting the above deadlines. If submitted later than 8 weeks before the course start date, audition results determining participant eligibility may not be available prior to the course, and will require late audition fees. If auditions are not accepted, course work will not be eligible for SAA registration – even if course work was completed. For further information, please see the SAA website here, call the SAA toll free 1-888-378-9854, and/or click here to go to the SAA’s Audition Guide.
Required Course Preparation
All teacher training participants are asked to prepare the repertoire to be studied to the point of fluent performance. Memorization is not required but is recommended. Additionally, participants should be conversant with the ideas presented in Dr. Suzuki’s book Nurtured by Love.
All participants will be performing in class and are expected to provide their own instruments. It is recommended that participants bring an audio recorder and a notebook to all sessions. 100% attendance is required for registering the course.
