Suzuki Teacher Training for Brass Teachers

 European Suzuki Association Level 1 and 2

On October 15, 2011 the International Suzuki Association (ISA) included trumpet as a Suzuki instrument and appointed an International Suzuki Trumpet Committee.

The European Suzuki Association (ESA) has appointed Ann-Marie Sundberg to be ESA Suzuki Trumpet Teacher Trainer and the first ever Suzuki teacher training course for trumpet teachers took place in Sweden during the academic year 2013-2014.  Since then over 40 Suzuki trumpet teachers in ten countries have taken part in the training.

In 2016 the ISA decided to augment the brief for the trumpet committee to also cover other brass instruments and renaming the committee The International Suzuki Brass Committee.  This entails that it is now possible to become a Suzuki teacher on French horn, trombone, euphonium and tuba in addition to trumpet. The first teacher training course on all these instruments took place 2017-2018.

During the academic year 2018-2019 we will offer Suzuki teacher training for trumpet, French horn, trombone, euphonium and tuba in accordance with the requirements of the ESA Level 1 and ESA Level 2 Suzuki teacher training standards. Please note that these are two separate courses and the entry requirements for Level 2 are a previously completed Level 1 course.

The training course takes place in Stockholm (Nacka), Sweden. This is a non-residential course*  which gives a unique opportunity to study in depth the Mother Tongue Method of Dr. Shinichi Suzuki as this has been developed for the first stages of brass teaching.
