Playing Together Teacher's Guide: A guide for teaching violin in groups

This book is a guide for teaching violin in classes. Teaching violin in a classroom is fundamentally different from individual tuition: the students are different, the objectives are different, the challenges and the rewards are different. In this guide, Joel Epstein brings years of experience and research in classroom violin teaching. In a breezy and informal style, he covers all the important topics and resources related to the topic, and offers a 12-step course of instruction, including supplemental materials to make violin class a meaningful and rewarding experience for both students and teacher.The teachers guide is a companion volume to Playing Together: Student Workbook. While the two are meant to be used together, the teacher's guide contains much invaluable information and guidance, even if you don't use the student workbook.

After a 35-year career in computer technology, Joel Epstein has returned to his first love - music. Since 2009 he has been teaching violin in public schools in Israel. This book and its companion volume, "Playing Together Student Workbook", is the culmination of seven years of experience in teaching violin to elementary students in groups.
