To register for training, you must do 5 things:

1. Have an active Suzuki Association membership. Please visit https://suzukiassociation.org/about/membership/ to join or renew your SAA membership.
2. Submit an audition recording and be approved to get training by the SAA. The cost of this teacher audition is cheaper if submitted 8 weeks before training begins. In any case, however, the recording must be submitted 10 days before your training is scheduled to begin. Please visit  https://suzukiassociation.org/teachers/training/audition/  for information and submission instructions.
3. Email Geoff Herd (gherd@utk.edu ) to confirm your intention to register for any of the ECC or violin training, or Wesley Baldwin (wbaldwin@utk.edu ) to confirm your intention of registering for cello training.
4. Pay a 50% deposit to reserve your spot. Submit payments here: https://music.utk.edu/ugrad/payments.php
   Deposits will be non-refundable after April 13th.
5. The remaining balance on training fees is due by May 7, 2019.

All housing and other accommodations are the responsibility of the participant. Unfortunately, there is no on campus housing available, but we recommend using AirBnb, which is very affordable in Knoxville. If you prefer a hotel, many are available for booking through numerous websites including priceline and kayak.com.
