Suzuki Teacher Training - Every Child Can & Guitar Book 1

Francesca Boerio, a member of the Guitar Faculty, has been awarded The Clifford-Levy Creativity Grant to pursue Every Child Can & Suzuki Guitar Book 1 Teacher Training. This professional development opportunity includes completing the prerequisite Every Child Can course, which introduces the philosophy and teaching methods of Shinichi Suzuki, as well as the foundational Suzuki Guitar Book 1 Training.  

As a former Suzuki student, Francesca is deeply inspired by the method’s focus on learning by ear, active listening, and fostering a supportive musical community. She aims to integrate these principles into her teaching at Diller-Quaile, enriching the experience for both her students and colleagues. With this training, Francesca will further develop a community of young guitarists at the school and beyond, elevating her teaching practice, and inspiring her students to excel and engage more deeply with music.
