Teacher Training
|
To meet the need for trained teachers, the SAA has established a Teacher Development Program, with systematic, comprehensive professional training available from registered Teacher Trainers in violin, viola, cello, bass, piano, flute, harp, guitar, recorder, Suzuki in the Schools and and Suzuki Early Childhood Education. Both prospective and experienced teachers can benefit from the training offered through SAA’s Teacher Development Program. Recognition of training is provided by the SAA registration program for completed training credits.
PLEASE NOTE: All prices reflect the class registration cost only. They do not include lodging and transportation. If you are not interested in training but would like to come and observe the classes, the fee is $25 a day or $100 for all five days. Use the teacher training registration page to pay for an observation badge. For security reasons, anyone without a visible badge may be asked to leave. |
