How many of you are teaching improvisation, probably one of the the most daunting aspects of string music? Share your experience. Meanehile, here are a few tips on teaching improv, from Mimi Rabson of Berklee College.

Please take a look at my site www.mainly4strings.co.uk . It contains a wealth of teaching materials for all ages and abilities, written & arranged by a teacher with over 30 years' experience.

Are you going to ASTA this year? If so, what do you hope to learn this year (ASTA is introducing a national string curriculum, by the way)?  If not, why not?

Fingerboard Workbook for the First Position
I posted some sample pages of the book so you can get a feel for it. My students all fill out this book and are fearless on the fingerboard. No Joke!

Happy Teaching!
Smiles!

If I may ask, what download sites do you all use that have good arrangements? Are there any free sites that are good?

Unfortunately, the safest is to find a book that contains most of what you are looking for and tell the parents to purchase said book; or make your own arrangements and copy them; or find suitable things on one of the music download sites......

Hi Everyone.

I'm planning to add group violin lessons to my private studio this semester and am working on getting sheet music together. What do you all do regarding copyright laws? Can a teacher make copies of music to use in a group lesson? What about copies to be used in a recital that charges no admission?

Ruth - Do you type in your signature each time or is there a way on this forum to have an automatic signature? Diane

Perhaps the key to a successful practice notebook is including future directions so the student knows where they are heading. I didnt have that in my failed one.
Also, thanks for inntroducing me to SmartMusic. I had not heard of it. Do many private teachers use this? It looks to be very useful for class learning.
