Event Description

This course will look at the intermediate violinist who is finishing Suzuki book four and discuss what skills they currently have, what they need to continue to develop at an advanced pace, and how to become an advanced violinist performing at the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto level.

Topics include: advanced tonalizations, pitch placement, incorporating group class and violin chamber music, micro-phrasing, musical sensitivity and imagination, rhythmic integrity, rote approach to technical development of the right hand and left hand, how and when to use supplemental pieces, what can/cannot be learned technically and musically from the upper Suzuki literature, and creating a self-driven positive learner. Also, discussions of how we as teachers can ensure a total environment that includes all areas of development the student needs to become a complete violinist and musician.
