Take the
Smart String Teacher Foundation
The self-study version of my training.
Would you like to:
Fill in the gaps in your string teaching skills?
Have a step-by-step method that takes the guesswork out of teaching strings?
Be able to confidently play all four instruments?
Learn to get consistently successful results, year after year?
And do it when it’s convenient for you?
Have you been wanting to take Teaching Strings Made Easy but haven’t been able to take it live?
Take my hybrid self-study training!
Instead of this…
Wasting time and energy searching the internet for ‘tips and tricks’.
Years of struggle and trial and error to get the results you want.
Feeling like a fraud teaching instruments you don’t play.
INVEST in this…
Being at ease demonstrating and teaching all four instruments.
Knowing you have reliable and effective strategies to help your students succeed at playing strings.
Feeling confident you can solve the many playing problems your students will encounter.
Why Self-Study?
