Suzuki Teacher Trainer
By eighth grade, I knew I wanted to be a teacher of some kind. Both my parents were teachers who enjoyed their profession. My growing love for music and the violin helped to show me something I would enjoy and love doing every day: playing and teaching violin (and viola!)
I enjoy teaching both students and adults. Teacher Training is one of the ways to give back to the community and help those who want to participate in spreading the joy of music in their own locality.
Liz became a Teacher Trainer in 2000 and currently does Teacher Training both Online and In-Person along with Hybrid Courses.
