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.

Takes the time to help us succeed.

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.
Celeste Landy

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.
Ntinyari Miriti

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.
Lois Faber

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.
Joana Correia
Portugal

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.
Linda Ethier

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.
Kiara Atherly
Spanish Fork, UT

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.
Jennifer Stamfl

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.
Abigail Walter

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.
Elise Eden
Las Vegas, NV

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.
Carolyn Greci
NY

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.
Amber Shouse
Pella, IA

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 like rhythm and reading music within a strings class.
Elizabeth Parker-Cook
Scarborough, ON

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!
Gina Mercurio
Nashville, TN

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.
Andrea Lee
Vancouver, BC

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.
Jamie Chamberland
Maryland, US

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.

Is the SST Academy for you?

Teaching strings can be complex and overwhelming.

If you struggle with any of the problems below, then my training can help you!

My training is a good fit for you if you are:

  • Tired of fixing the same thumb, wrist and elbow problems over and over again.
  • Disappointed at the slow progress of your students.
  • Mystified that students keep forgetting where to put their fingers.
  • Giving up on your beginners ever being able to hear and play in tune.
  • Frustrated with choosing between teaching foundations and cramming for the next performance.
  • Overwhelmed with the decisions you need to make because you don’t have a clear plan.
  • Worried about losing students in your program because they don’t feel successful.
  • Terrified because you’ve never taught beginner strings before.

I will help you get your students to:

  • Play scales and songs by the end of the 2nd week.
  • Bow confidently by the 3rd week.
  • Start reading music by the 1st month.
  • Impress their parents and the school admin at the first concert.
  • Shift and play 2-octave scales by the 4th month.
  • Understand finger patterns and how to play in different keys.
  • Hear and adjust their notes and play in tune.
  • Have full control of the bow, articulation and dynamics.
  • Be able to make musical decisions independent of you.
  • Play with vibrato.
  • And more!

Even if you aren’t a string player!
