Because children learn differently than adults, the foundations of a child’s technique and tone depend very much on the ability of the first string teacher to provide instruction adapted to a child’s motor skills and understanding. The course is designed for private studio teachers and public school string teachers with students between the ages of four and eighteen. It is intended to validate teaching techniques and introduce new ideas of how best to set the foundations for young cellists using ideas from Shinichi Suzuki, Paul Rolland and the extensive experience of the String Academy faculty. Seminar topics include:
In addition to coverage of the above topics, there will also be daily hands-on instruction in a mini- master class setting which will focus on the pedagogical aspects covered in discussions and individual participant needs. Observations of faculty working with students will cover all levels of proficiency. Enrollment is limited. The application deadline is May 24,2010. Remaining fees are due June 1, 2010. |
