The Suzuki Association of Georgia is excited to host Suzuki Principles in Action (SPA). SPA is a course designed to help teachers incorporate Suzuki’s principles effectively in their teaching. The course focuses on how to teach, not what to teach, and to allow for the sharing of ideas among all instrument areas. It is based on Dr. Suzuki’s belief that knowledge is an important first step, but “knowledge plus 10,000 times” is what produces ability.
SPA is a prerequisite for the Certificate of Achievement.
