Registration Information

  • Courses are offered in three different formats: Online, Dual Delivery or In-Person.

    • Dual Delivery courses have the option for participants to take onsite training at Occidental College OR meet online over Zoom. We highly recommend participants attend institute in-person to gain the most from their experience. At registration you will be asked if you plan to attend the course in-person or online.

    • Online courses only meet online over Zoom. In-person participants are not accepted.

    • In-Person courses only meet in-person at Occidental College. Online participants are not accepted.

  • We offer an early bird pricing for those who register before March 15th. A late fee will be charged for participants registering after April 15th (if there are openings).

  • Be sure to check course prerequisites before registering for a course.

  • Participants must complete their SAA audition before registering as there are no tuition refunds, even if the audition is not passed.

  • A portion of funds from each teacher training course is being used to develop a sustainable Diversity Scholarship Fund for LASI and LAS-TW, to encourage the professional development of teachers who are traditionally underrepresented in Suzuki music programs.
