at Studio of Teri Einfeldt
What
Developing the Ear from the First Lesson: Viola, Violin
Instructor: Teri Einfeldt
Event Description
This course will generate concrete activities for developing the ear throughout the journey of learning the violin/viola using the Suzuki Method. As we know, this is one of the key tenets of the philosophy and yet, seems to be the least developed in many students. The activities will cover using the voice early in the learning process, one step at a time including singing one note, matching pitch, to reproducing entire songs or pieces. Learning to play from the inside out is a skill that needs to be nurtured continually. The ability to hear the music to be learned in one’s head prior to beginning to learn a piece makes everyone’s job, including the students,’ much simpler. The course will include how to connect the ear to the instrument, directing the child’s ears for more focused listening, which will result in more musical and technical understanding from the Pre-Twinkle stage, following the student’s journey through the repertoire.
