Starting out Suzuki: Practical tips for Utilizing the Suzuki Repertoire and Philosophy for Young Violists
June 4 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
Our session is a deep dive into Suzuki viola book 1 and the Suzuki philosophy as it applies to teaching young violists. We will discuss the benefits of subscribing to the Suzuki philosophy when teaching young violists, teaching points for Suzuki book 1 repertoire, complementary repertoire options, supplemental exercises, and viola-specific considerations for starting young beginning violists. Session participants will walk away (re)inspired for teaching “viola-littles,” with comprehensive pedagogical breakdowns for Suzuki viola book 1 rep, ideas for repertoire classes, and caregiver education.
