Teacher Training

The teachers in our community are what make OSI so special- without your support, we wouldn’t have such a wonderful institute.

In order to support teachers in a more concrete way, we are offering either 50% off a teacher training class, or free observations, for any teacher, or teaching collective, that sends five or more students to OSI.

We want to make continuing education accessible to everyone, and we know how meaningful it is to attend the institute with your students.

Join us in Oregon to continue your Suzuki training.

This class will be offered online and in person, Monday-Friday, 8:15-11:15am (PST), with observations in the afternoons.
