The whole base for the Suzuki organ methodology)
In the videos I show and explain very clear in detail how to teach and play step by step every piece in book 1 and 2 with a very methodical approach. So the videos are not lessons with children. The videos together with the written material are very pedagogical, and covers all the knowledge I have taught for 20 years in the university teacher training courses. All videos are in English.
The text material describes thoroughly the corner stones in the Suzuki method and the theoretical knowledge of teaching. It also contains a list of all the “teaching points” for the pieces in book 1 and 2. I describe the way of working between student-parent-teacher and give advices and ideas about how to create a good environment for teaching, learning, practicing, performing and social interaction.
All the text material and videos are in English.
The Suzuki pedagogy training is a solid eduation that leads to being able to teach children of all ages with the Suzuki method.
Information to all organists!
I have got requests from organists about the self-study education.
I want to make clear that in the videos (5 hours) I show very detailed how to work with pedagogical moves to make the children be relaxed, and I tell very detailed how to teach in every little step, so the education really cover all the teaching of the Suzuki organ method.
There is also a separate video “How to start with a new student” that shows all there is to think of. You will find the education for self-study very complete.

ESA - exam 2004
(European Suzuki Association)
Formal ESA Suzuki Teachers’ Examinations are an integral part of this education. When you have taken the introductory web education, you also have the possibility to take a follow-up interactive web course for me. This interactive web course can lead to the European Suzuki Association’s Level One Suzuki Teachers’ Examination. The exams are arranged interactively or IRL in accordance with the ESA’s framework for Suzuki teacher training and take place after completing the course. You can read about it under the tab ”Interactive follow-up course”
Suzuki teacher training
There are five levels in Suzuki teacher training programs. To be allowed to take level 4 and 5 you have to have some formal concert musician education. To be able to take level one for organ, you have to have a degree on organ.
Leven 1 is the most important one. You will learn the entire methodology and the approach. You also learn how to teach book 1 and 2. After taking level one, you can transfer the approach to all the pieces in the other books in the Suzuki organ school and to all other literature.
Until now I have just developed three levels of teacher training courses for organ. Level two contains the methodology for book 3 and 4, and level three contains the methodology for book 5 and 6. The teacher training course for level two and three are for the moment just available as interactive web courses upon request.
