Viola, Violin
Jun 23 and 30, 2020 in Stevens Point, WI
at Studio of Pat D’Ercole

What

Using Keen Observation, Precise Language and Balanced Feedback to Increase Efficiency and Motivation: Viola, Violin

Instructor: Pat D'Ercole

Event Description

What we observe—those just noticeable differences in our students’ performances, and how accurately and objectively we describe them, can have a huge impact on the student’s rate of learning and their motivation. During our time together we will learn and practice strategies that will improve observation and develop precision-in-language skills.   These skills will be foundation upon which to practice giving balanced feedback.  Finally, we will learn why these teacher traits can boost the motivation of the student and parent.
Approximately 60-90 minutes of pre-course work is required.

Course full.
