I AM SO THRILLED that you are considering taking my Suzuki Cello Book 1 teacher training course. I learned so much from taking it many years ago with Alice Vierra, that I had to take it again later with Dr. Tanya Carey. This course is filled with resources, knowledge, and tactics, not only for beginner or transfer cello students, but also for communicating with parents and establishing a strong studio.
Due to the intensive curriculum and extensive information covered, there are 28 required lecture hours and 15 required observation hours, so I suggest that participants plan ahead and schedule around it carefully to avoid getting worn out. The Suzuki Association of the Americas requires 100% attendance for this course to recognized as completed. (Update: I have given four Book 1 teacher courses online since October, 2020. Many more ideas for conveying teaching knowledge and lesson management have been developed.)
Please note there are audition requirements, and that all audition materials should be completed at least 10 days prior to the first day of the course.
