A seminar on the most important topics in teaching children to play the cello. Because children learn differently than adults, the foundations of a child's technique and tone depend very much on the ability of the first string teacher to provide instruction adapted to a child's motor skills and understanding. The course is designed for private studio teachers and public school string teachers with students between the ages of four and eighteen. It is intended to validate teaching techniques and introduce new ideas of how best to set the foundations for young cellists using ideas from Shinichi Suzuki, Paul Rolland and the extensive experience of the String Academy faculty.
