This subject is offered as a work experience subject for students who wish to complete their Primary Level Suzuki Teacher Accreditation. Theoretical aspects will include teaching methodology, early childhood development and Suzuki Philosophy. These theoretical studies are reinforced through teaching observations of individual and group lessons. Mentored teaching of individual students and groups is a significant part of the subject, as students put into practice the theoretical knowledge that has been acquired. In addition, students are expected to be able to demonstrate all the pieces contained in books 1 – 4 of Suzuki repertoire for their chosen instrument or voice.
