The purpose of the course is to clarify the technical and methodical foundations of teaching violin and viola. Pedagogical repertoire for both instruments will be discussed, as well as technical and musical aspects.

 

The first year of the two will focus on the early stages of playing, looking at technical and musical elements, as well as different instructional books suited for this level.

 

The second year will focus on different schools, looking at advanced technical and musical aspects, as well as stylistic awareness and its place in teaching the advanced student.
