SAA TEACHER DEVELOPMENT
The Suzuki Association of the Americas considers training to be professional pedagogical study, i.e. for
professional musicians, for course content, pace and audition purposes. To qualify as a Participant in
Short-Term and Apprentice courses, you must submit an audition to the SAA. An accepted audition
permits you to be a Participant in training for the levels accepted, at any future time. With an accepted
audition and a completed training unit as a Participant, you then register that course with the SAA
prior to teaching that level. Training is to be taken and registered in order through Bk. 2.
For all the details, go to the SAA website at www.suzukiassociation.org. In the teacher section under
training, there is a downloadable video audition application form (with instructions) or call the SAA
toll free at 888-378-9854 for this form.
Memorization of the current book is the best way to prepare for this course.
