Internship Opportunity
The Suzuki Pedagogy Internship is available to students who have an interest in the Suzuki approach to string education and are interested in pursuing opportunities as a Suzuki teacher.

A structured internship program with master Suzuki teachers Douglass and Susan Locke, directors of Suzuki Music Columbus is created for students progressing from guided observation to hands-on teaching individual lessons and finally group classes.

Students are compensated for their time teaching, accrue hundreds of practical hours of teaching, and have the opportunity to take teacher training courses. At the end of the internship, students have considerable expertise with teaching in the Suzuki style.
