Developing students from the intermediate to advanced level: Musical and technical ideas that work.: Violin
Instructor: Timothy Durbin
Event Description
Many times the student reaches the intermediate level and then their tonal, technical and musical growth slows and they find the upper books to be too challenging and hard. This leads to frustration and lessened motivation. What can we do as teachers to quickly and efficiently help the student develop the skills needed to continue to develop rapidly and reach the advanced level of playing technically and musically?
This course will present tonal, technical and musical fundamentals in a rote fashion to help the student lay the foundation to an advanced technique. Permutational ideas of Galamian, Starker, Dounis, Sevcik and Schradieck will be presented in a time saving, condensed way that allows the student to not get bogged down in playing through page after page of material and yet advance quickly.
Topics include:
— How to teach advanced ideas through review, rote exercises, permutational exercises, and finding what is in the literature to teach and then how to teach it.
— How to use the combination of the repertoire and private lesson class to your advantage in developing the student to the advanced level.
— Discussion of the principles behind the technical exercises and how to develop your own targeted exercises for your students.
