As a veteran string educator, I hope to share with you the strategies I’ve found successful in teaching string orchestra (violin, viola, cello, double bass). This video is a comprehensive explanation of the strategies and string pedagogy I use to help get students to play in tune at ANY level of orchestra. In no way is this the only way to teach great intonation and pitch control. Rather, it is simply my personal approach. My hope is that my fellow string educators and those learning the craft (as each of us always are) find this video helpful. Thank you for teaching kids and making a difference! What a gift it is to get to teach students how to play music!
