Instrument Vice Presidents
Instrument Vice Presidents plan and oversee activities for their instrument, provide communication between the board and teacher members, and work closely with the Regional Coordinators if they preside over large regions (e.g. piano, violin or cello). They attend monthly board meetings, recruit members to SAU, and provide opportunities for teachers statewide to feel a sense of community and collaboration. They facilitate connections between teachers and teacher trainers to encourage continued teacher development. They also encourage excellence in students by coordinating events and activities that will enhance and challenge students’ abilities and skills in Utah. They provide support through the Suzuki community for Parent Affiliate Members. They also facilitate connections between the Suzuki community and other musical organizations.

The General Board is all of the officers of the SAU plus Instrumental Regional Coordinators. The General Board meets as directed by the Executive Board. It may also include Teacher Trainers and Institute Directors.
Regional Instrument Representatives
Instrument Region Coordinators are responsible for planning and holding graduation concerts, recitals, super activities for students and teacher workshops for enrichment and connection. These leaders are encouraged to organize regular teacher meetings for colleagues to share ideas, receive training, plan activities, and stay informed about SAU and SAA. They recruit new teachers to be a part of SAU, connect with teachers living in their geographical area and communicate important information to regional teachers. They listen to area teachers’ concerns and ideas. They help area teachers provide parent support for the Parent Affiliate Members in their area.
