Individual Associate Membership

For those who live in a country which has no National Suzuki Association, Individual Associate Membership of the ESA is available, and should be obtained by all practising Suzuki Teachers who teach in such countries.

Associate Membership of the ESA automatically gives Individual Affiliate Membership of the International Suzuki Association (ISA).

The ISA is the owner of the Suzuki Name and Trademark.

Only those who are Affiliate Members of the ISA are entitled to use the Suzuki Name, and only qualified teachers are permitted to call themselves Suzuki teachers.

Individual Associate Membership Fees

£45 per person

Reduced payments for individuals who live in a Country with low GNI (Gross National Income)

The ESA offer a scheme whereby individuals who live in a country with a weak economy, lower salaries and exchange rates, are asked to pay only a weighted amount of membership costs.

The calculation is based on the World Bank’s GNI PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) index, updated annually.

In practice this means that some individuals only pay 40 - 60 % the fees due.
