I started teaching strings a few years ago and I felt that I was somehow incompetent to teach so many string instruments at once. I knew how to teach cello and it was more intuitive to teach a double bass player, but the violin and violas were my fear. I looked for some videos, read some things that of course helped me, but the information was a bit random because I didn’t even know how to look for information. Everything was a bit deorganized and with no structure. I have a master in teaching cello and had some general pedagogical subjects, but nothing directly about the strings. So I started looking for courses that might help me and I found Grace!
I liked very much the course (TBSME) since the beggining because what I learned in lesson one was already so important. Since routines to all the step by step teaching strings, now I have a plan, a well organized way to teach and I have tools and information to be better and better with time and practice. I also met different people around the globe that were nice and interesting and it was a safe and relaxed place to learn. Now I have more confidence and feel I can be a more competent teacher. Since the beginning of the course I apply things I learned in my own classes!
Thank you so much Grace for all the material and the precious knowledge you gave us!
