Have you ever wondered:
How do I become a Suzuki Teacher? Why be a Suzuki Teacher?

Suzuki Teacher Development courses may be taken in Alice Vierra’s studio in the community where Alice lives - Tucson/Vail in AZ . She is a registered Teacher Trainer with the Suzuki Association of the Americas (SAA). She also teaches courses at Institutes across the country. Teachers may arrange bi-weekly or monthly sessions to complete their training alone or in groups. If you are interested in a group - which helps to make the fee more affordable - please notify Alice and she will contact you when a training session seems possible to schedule.

The Suzuki Association of the Americas answers many questions about becoming a Suzuki Teacher. The SAA website is:
http://www.suzukiassociaiton.org. The site discusses pre-requisites to taking a course, how to send in a video of your playing, the various ways the courses are offered and more. One of the ways is through short-term courses with trainers. If you are interested, contact Alice and she can help you figure out how to set up your training whether it be through summer institutes and/or training with Alice at her studio.
