My experience was incredibly engaging, enthusiastic and informative! Completing the Suzuki Book 1 Cello training for teachers has been an absolute game-changer for me. The course content was meticulously crafted, providing a
comprehensive understanding of the Suzuki method and its application specifically to cello instruction. The teaching was exceptional, with our instructor demonstrating mastery of the material and the instrument. His guidance was clear, supportive and inspiring, fostering an environment where every participant felt empowered to grow and excel. I would certainly return for further training."

Zach IS Suzuki. You can tell this when you meet him, and he did not disappoint in training. When you can walk away from training by Zach with a fresh dose of the inspiring spirit of this method AND a bunch of practical things you can easily start using right away with your students... ~ Book 3 participant
Before taking this course I was feeling burnt out and like I was pulling my students through lessons. I am now feeling more inspired, learning and being reminded how to be more effective in structuring the lesson. My students are reinvigorated and happy to be receiving information in new ways and they are progressing faster. I know that regular teacher training courses need to be something I do each year and the availability of them online makes it possible. ~ Book 1 Participant
It was so lovely to meet you and learn from you! I am so grateful for this opportunity, and I feel I am walking away with a whole new world of knowledge and strategies to implement in my teaching and playing. This was one of the most helpful and practical courses I've taken so far. I also really appreciate your vulnerability in sharing your journey and struggles, this made me feel very safe and supported in the learning environment. Thank you so very much!!! ~ Book 1 Participant
