Musicality for Strings, A Five-Book Series
Musicality for Strings is a step-by-step approach to teaching string students how to play musically from their very first lessons! Many teachers approach musicality as a concept to teach after students have already learned "to play". However, this robs students of one of the very foundational reasons we learn how to play an instrument; to express and experience emotion in a deeper way!
Not only will Musicality for Strings help you teach musicality from the very first lessons, but it can also:
- Increase your students enjoyment of music
- Increase your students technical facility
- Improve students musical understanding
- Teach students how to have a steady inner pulse
- Provide an effective way for students to interpret music themselves
Musicality for Strings is a five book series designed to systematically teach musicality to beginning through advanced students. What's great about my approach is that it can be effectively introduced at ANY point in a student's musical journey!
