PROCEDURE FOR SAA REGISTRATION FOR SUZUKI TEACHER TRAINING COURSES

Please allow enough time for these steps to be completed before the beginning of the first class.

  • This is not an automated process – lists and registration are checked manually by volunteers. This may take several days. Do not wait until the last minute. 
Step 1
  • Go here: https://suzukiassociation.org/resources/events/
  • Follow the prompts to get your “ticket” for the course. This payment will cover the fee to register the course with the SAA. (For Every Child Can! this fee also includes the textbook)
  • This will put your name on the list of people who have up to date memberships in the SAA, have registered their intention to take the course, have the necessary pre-requisites, and want the course to appear on their training record with the SAA.
Step 2
  • After we see your name appear on the course list, we will send you an email with links to pay the tuition fee
  • After the tuition fee has been received, you will receive another email with class schedules and links for online classes and lesson observations. 
  • If you require a formal receipt other than the one generated by your chosen payment method, email info@fluteplayer.ca with your request.
