Violin Practicum
August 4 - October 1
Participants will have the opportunity to return to their home studios and implement ideas and strategies in their teaching, before the final 2 hours of class work and discussion around their experiences.
Practicum focuses on honing the art of teaching, to enhance the level-by-level unit training. Practicum is recommended for all teachers and can be taken multiple times, any time after Unit 1. With a maximum class size of 5, the course allows for much individual attention. Participants will prepare two videos:
– A complete 30-minute lesson
– One 30-minute segment compiled of materials of their choice: consecutive lesson segments from the same student, a group lesson, a reading lesson, a challenging student, lesson segments at different book levels…
It is recommended that participants record many lessons over time and select from them the portions to include on the video brought to the Practicum.
