Course Content
In this course, Suzuki and traditional violin teachers are invited to explore and work intensively with the Music & Movement program.
Here are the main points that we will introduce during the course:
At least 100 ideas for enriching lessons for beginning violinists through Music & Movement activities. They are based primarily on Dr. Suzuki’s violin repertory and on his teaching concept. You will learn exercises for individual and group lessons that focus on learning and improving the following areas:
Getting to know the teaching repertoire through active listening
First basics in rhythm and intonation through singing and movement games
Preparation for violin posture and violinistic movements
Development of gross and fine motor skills and working out basic violin techniques for beginners
Development of concentration skills, attention to detail, discipline and perseverance
Motivating and playful elements to loosen up the lessons
Our most important goal is for the children to develop an inner relationship with music and build an emotional connection through listening, moving, feeling and playing beginning tunes on the violin.
This content represents new territory in violin pedagogy!
It is not found in Suzuki teacher training or in any other violin pedagogy program.
All participants will receive extensive course materials including
three video recordings of the entire course (each session lasts 90 minutes)
short videos with exercises and teaching ideas
sheet music
audio files that are very useful for both online and in-person lessons
