What
Fundamental Violin Technique & The Audacity to Make a Difference
Instructor: Ronda Cole
Event Description
Dear Teachers,
I’m absolutely thrilled to be bringing Ronda Cole to North Texas! Ronda Cole believes in stimulating the development of expressive talent right from the beginning stages. Her technical concepts reflect her ideas that technique should be made easy using balance and release as key components, so that the player can have their heart invested in musical expression rather than on technique. She also strongly believes that musical literacy can be fostered from the start, even in the Suzuki format.
I have been inspired by Ronda’s teaching for many years, and I am confident that participants will gain important and thought-provoking information, and discover valuable insights during our time with Ronda. Her ability to communicate is extraordinary; and her vision of excellence and artistry for every child calls teachers to action in their own studios.
There is something in this workshop for everyone! Violin and viola teachers who participate in the entire 10-hour course will be eligible to register training with the SAA as a 10 Hour Enrichment Course. You will need to bring your instruments to class every day.
Teachers of all instruments are welcome to join us in the afternoon for lively and engaging non-instrument specific teacher presentations and to watch Ronda bring her ideas to life in dynamic masterclasses for young violinists.
I’m looking forward to seeing you in January!
