Junior Strings Adjudicator Catherine Walker

Catherine Walker received a Bachelor of Music degree (performance-cello) from McGill University in Montreal and continued her studies for a year in Lausanne, Switzerland with famed cellist Guy Fallot. Upon her return to Canada in 1975, she started her training in Suzuki pedagogy with Yvonne Tait and has worked with most of the other North American teacher trainers over the years. She had a large private studio in Montreal for close to thirty years and, in 2005, she moved to the Eastern Townships in southern Quebec. She is also an active clinician and has taught at numerous institutes and workshops throughout Canada, the United States, Japan, England and Spain. Catherine has been sanctioned by the Suzuki Association of the Americas (SAA) as a cello teacher trainer since 1983 and has taught Apprenticeship and Training courses. Ms. Walker was the founding president of the teachers’ association, Suzuki Musique Montréal (SMM), and served on the SAA cello committee from 1984-1988. In 1988, she went to Matsumoto, Japan and spent six months working with Shinichi Suzuki, the founder of the Suzuki method. From 1996 to 1999, she served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Suzuki Association of the Americas, and during that time was also the Canadian representative to the International Suzuki Association (ISA). In 2008, Catherine translated the Suzuki philosophy course manual “Every Child Can” (ECC) into French and she has presented it several times around the province of Quebec. In 2013, she taught at the International Suzuki Method Conference in Matsumoto, and at the International Cello Festival in Barcelona in 2014.
