HC CNDP

2 credits
In this second-level class, students will learn in greater detail about string teaching through readings, videos, and in-depth discussion of specific techniques and teaching challenges. Topics discussed will include practicing, motivation, vibrato, shifting, “fingerboard geography”, development of the ear, and building musicality. Students will observe Community Music School lessons and will be assigned a student to teach from the community or secondary lesson program. Regular videotaping of lessons will allow for specific guidance and support for the student teacher.
