Paul Rolland String Pedagogy with Level 2 Endorsement

Joanne May will teach this 2nd level course in Paul Rolland pedagogy as students review Principles of Movement, and learn in-depth information on the topics of Establishing the Instrument Hold, Learning to Hold the Bow, Principles of Left Hand and Finger Action, and Establishing Left Hand and Finger Placement in First Position. Violin, viola, cello, and bass pedagogies will be discussed, and the application of the materials and actions will be demonstrated in the context of both public school and private studio settings. The Paul Rolland String Pedagogy Society has developed a 4-Level Certification for teachers interested in learning about the pedagogy and using it in their teaching. This course, when completed in full, will provide participants with a Level 2 Endorsement.
