1999 Brochure: Teacher Workshops

Teacher Workshops

SAA Registration Units

Violin, Viola, Cello and Bass teachers may register as participants or auditors. The Teacher Workshops offered at Institute this year are listed on the following page.

Participants will receive SAA registration and credit and should take the units in sequence whenever possible since the SAA will not register the units out of sequence. SAA registration is limited to participants who are high school graduates or the equivalent. Those new to Suzuki training should first register for Foundation Unit 1A and then continue in order through the succeeding units, corresponding to the books of the Suzuki repertoire. The Institute provides an excellent opportunity to observe master teachers who may never otherwise be available. Participants should also begin a listening program of the Suzuki literature. Participants should memorize the repertoire to be studied in the unit they are registering for. The teacher trainer reserves the right to change the status to that of auditor if the applicant is unprepared.

Auditors need not submit tapes, will not perform, may not ask extensive questions and will not receive SAA registration or credit. Fees are the same for both participants and auditors.

Observers: Teachers who wish to know more about the Suzuki approach may observe student classes only for a fee of $20 per day, payable at the door. Teacher workshops are only open to those who register for them as a participant or an auditor.

The Institute may cancel teacher workshops if enrollment is insufficient. If at all possible, please sign up before April 1, 1999 so that we do not cancel a workshop you would like to take. The registration deadline is May 1^st, for all teacher workshop applicants. After this date late fees will apply, however we will accept late registrations. If a workshop needs to be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment you will be notified by May 10, 1999. If you choose to purchase a non-refundable plane ticket before this date, the Institute will not be liable. Be aware that we have not yet had to cancel a Teacher Workshop.

Reading: Before Institute all participants should read or re-read Dr. Suzuki's Nurtured by Love and Ability Development from Age Zero. Violinists are requested to read The Suzuki Violinist by William Starr. Violinists taking Book 1A, 1B should read Ed Kreitman's Book, Teaching from the Balance Point.

Tape and SAA Membership Requirements: All applicants must include with their registration form, a quality tape recording of their playing (required repertoire listed below) and proof of SAA Membership. Each tape must be clearly labeled with name, address, instrument, and unit.

It is preferable that tapes and membership proof be sent with registration. Please note _ applications received without the above items will automatically be registered as auditors. You will be upgraded to participant status when these are received. It is your responsibility to submit these items, we cannot call to remind you.

Tapes should include:

Book 1A, 1B, Book 2 _ two major pieces from Book 3
Book 3 and beyond _ two major pieces from the next book

*Special classes will detail what is required as far as tapes etc. in the class description.
