Teaching the Violin and Viola: Creating a Healthy Foundation at Coursera Course details
- Join us as we explore the fundamental principles and early stages of teaching violin and viola through a series of engaging video lectures and lesson demonstrations, including: 1) Master classes with some of the world?s top string pedagogues, 2) Individual lesson demos of teaching violin/viola set up, left and right hand technique and pieces from the early violin/viola repertoire, 3) Group lesson demos of teaching music theory, ear training and fun activities that encourage good playing habits, and 4) A ?field trip? to the violin shop, where we will outfit a new beginning student with a proper instrument and bow. You?ll also engage in a series of discussions and reflections with colleagues and peers across the globe. Upon completion of this course, we hope you?ll return to your studio with confidence, a new curriculum, and a renewed approach to sharing with your students the joyful experience of making beautiful music.
