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: January 9-10 (Eastern Mennonite University, VA), January 17-18 (Loma Linda, CA), February 4-5 (Milwaukee, WI), March 4-5 (Holland, MI), and March 5-6 (Chicago, IL).
