Teacher Testimonials
Incredible course.
Grace Law’s teaching style, along with her wealth of knowledge and outstanding pedagogical structure made for an incredible course.
Best investment I’ve made.
Grace’s method is an organized and clear system that makes sense. She has a clear and very natural manner of relaying information and teaching.
Grace helps you improve quickly.
Highly recommend this training to anyone wanting to build their confidence in teaching and playing string instruments. I learned more in ten classes from Grace than I did in an entire semester of string methods.
Much more confident now!
I not only learned practical skills on several string instruments but also how to set my string students up for success. I learned the fundamentals of string technique, how to troubleshoot issues and how to introduce important concepts within a strings class.
Take the course!
This course provided a very practical approach for non-string playing musicians wishing to teach strings in an organized and sequential manner.
Presents technique clearly.
I’ve already recommended this program to others because I believe it’s well presented, straight to the point and coming from a great experienced teacher.
Highly beneficial for non-string players.
This course changed my perception of strings teaching and boosted both my confidence and playing skill in just a few short weeks.
Great, hands-on course.
I feel more confident now that I will be able to help my students’ technique improve. Grace is very relatable, and I highly recommend this training to others!
So blessed to have found this course!
Someone who could put all of the information that I am teaching together and make sense of it was an immediate attraction for me.
I feel more confident in my ability.
Whether you are a string player or not, you can learn practical teaching strategies that will help you better address the common difficulties beginners experience.
Takes the time to help us succeed.
Grace is very thorough with teaching her course. This is a wonderful course for first year teachers, and teachers at all different levels and abilities.
Easy for non-string players.
I needed a course that provided strategies that are easy to implement and met my unique needs as a beginning string player. This training was just that.
Wish I had taken this before!
Learning to teach a whole group efficiently was invaluable. Grace’s training is highly practical for non-string players and teachers who want to improve their own playing skills.
Exactly what I was looking for.
Grace’s course is full of clear and simple strategies for whole class instruction. I exceeded my expectations on my secondary instrument. So eager to return to the classroom and get my students off to a smart start!
Thank you for what you do!
I respect how much effort Grace has put into her instruction. She has the desire to help other teachers learn what she struggled through so they can be successful.
Now I have a plan.
What I learned in the first lesson was already so valuable. Since the beginning of the training, I was applying what I learned to my own classes.
No other courses like it.
Even after years as a String Teacher, I found so much new information about how to teach beginners efficiently and successfully right from the start. Well worth the time invested.
I can demonstrate now!
Since taking this training I am playing things on the bass I never even imagined and I feel more than able to troubleshoot and fix my students issues. I feel like I can turn out confident cellos and basses now and retain them.
Just what I needed.
Grace’s methods are fast, simple, and build on each other in ways that would have taken me years to figure out on my own!
I am excited about my new position!
Grace taught me everything I need to know to play all the stringed instruments, as well as how I was going to teach them. I now feel comfortably confident going forward, and am excited about my new position.
Prepared to be amazed.
If you think that you can’t learn everything you need in a virtual class, prepare to be amazed! The things that Grace can do with her teachers over Zoom is amazing! It made me rethink the way that I use online meeting tools in music.
Excited to start a new school year!
Even after teaching strings for 19 years, I have learned new insights and strategies to improve my classroom teaching of strings.
Amazing opportunity.
Grace’s knowledge of string pedagogy is unmatched. I learned more from her course in a few short weeks than I did in my undergraduate work. As a band teacher I feel that I learned the tools and the knowledge to take on string classes next year with confidence.
Zero experience with strings.
In a few short weeks I went from knowing nothing about violin to actually being able to play the instrument properly and understand how it works. This training is a lot of work and time commitment, but I am thankful for it.
First year teacher.
I am a first year teacher but long time violinist and wish I had learned these skills earlier. Not only would it have benefited my own playing, but I know it is going to help me as a teacher. I would highly recommend taking Grace’s training!
Wanted to keep learning.
During the whole training, we all experienced a supportive environment where we all started from scratch, just as our students would. Thanks, Grace for thinking so deeply about the practice of teaching strings and for sharing so generously.
I was scared to teach strings.
I didn’t know what I was doing last year and I let my kids down and that’s not going to happen this year. I’m just so excited about feeling confident about walking into the classroom this year.
So grateful.
As a violin major this was exactly what I needed. I have more confidence in front of the classroom now. I’m so excited to see the progress in my students.
