Teacher Certification Program

Level 1

Level 1 focuses on basic techniques of the Art of Practicing. Those who wish to participate in part or all of Level 1 may do so on a non-certification basis.

• Study privately with Ms. Bruser
• Observe and participate in workshops on the Art of Practicing
• Practice teaching basic techniques in teachers' workshops
• Play in performance classes
• Give oral presentations on posture and movement

• Teach beginning, intermediate, and advanced students under supervision
• Explore and study the practice of mindfulness meditation and its relationship to artistic and educational processes
