June 27, 2016 at 02:06 PM · Hi everybody,

I'm trying to find a good graduate program in Violin Pedagogy here in the US, it can be a Master or DMA, I don't mind. Which one do you recommend?

Thanks

Above link is for Ithaca College in NY and has Suzuki emphasis.

The String Academy of Wisconsin

Peabody Conservatory.

I believe Boston Conservatory might have a program in pedagogy as well. Ithaca College may be your best bet, though, because it has Suzuki emphasis.
