Teaching Strategies: Suzuki Piano

How we teach is just as important as what we teach. In this course, Suzuki piano teachers will reflect on their own teaching through observation, intentional language, and strategic lesson planning.

Each participant will share videos of their own teaching in a warm, supportive environment where we learn from one another. Together, we’ll explore pacing, sequencing, and communication strategies that promote self-regulated learning, joyful music-making, and strong parent partnerships. Teachers will leave with practical tools and renewed inspiration for their studio work.
