Certificate Achievement Logo Sample

The SAA is committed to excellence in teaching and to establishing standards within the framework of the Suzuki philosophy. Teacher training courses offer registration of units, rather than certification. Earning the SAA Certificate of Achievement will provide recognition of your teaching qualifications and a gauge of your level of professional growth. It gives value, meaning, and significance to your registration of courses. Read more to learn if you qualify for this next step in your teaching!

Humor from the Suzuki Studio

Have a funny Suzuki-related story? We would love to hear from you! Tell us your story or view and add to our “Friday Funnies” on Facebook, and your story may appear in a future SAA comic. Of course, please keep it clean and respectful. We’re not here to laugh at the expense of anyone involved! Please omit individuals’ last names, and change first names if you wish.

Suzuki Principles in Action (SPA) Course

This two day, cross-instrumental course is designed to help teachers incorporate Suzuki’s principles effectively in their teaching. The inspiration for SPA came from a need, identified by both Trainers and Teacher Workshop Participants, to deal with the challenges of implementing the knowledge gained from unit courses into the reality of day-to-day studio teaching. Consider hosting a course or make plans to attend one currently scheduled: March 4-5 (Holland, MI), March 5-6 (Chicago, IL), April 1-2 (Salt Lake City, UT), and April 2-3 (Minneapolis, MN).
