Check out the Events Page which lists numerous upcoming opportunities for both teachers and families. SAA Annual Membership MeetingThe SAA annual Membership Meeting will take place at the Hilton Minneapolis on Saturday, May 28, 8:30 AM. The Annual Meeting is an opportunity to learn more about your Suzuki organization. Teacher Location Service: did you know?One benefit of an active SAA membership is the option of adding your name to the Teacher Location Service (TLS). This is an elective benefit and teachers may set their public profile to have as much or as little information posted as they wish (i.e., name, phone, location, email, bio, picture, registered training, etc.). Not all SAA members opt to be listed, as its intent is to provide names of teachers wishing to add more students. It differs from the Online Member Directory in that the TLS is viewable by the public, whereas the Member Directory includes all members and is only available to view by other members. If you haven’t visited (or anytime you would like to use) the Online Member Directory, click here. Please note that if your membership lapses, you must sign up for the TLS again, even if you were previously listed. To add your name, log into your SAA web account and go to Teacher Location Service.

Suzuki Principles in Action (SPA) CourseThis 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: February 3-4 (Ottawa, ON), March 4-5 (Holland, MI), March 5-6 (Chicago, IL), April 1-2 (Salt Lake City, UT), and April 2-3 (Minneapolis, MN).
