138 TSP Conference Joy (IMTEX 2018)

I recently returned from another wonderful International Music Teachers Exchange (IMTEX) conference in Remscheid, Germany, where I gathered together with many teachers from all over the world to share new ideas, discoveries, and solutions, and I met once again friends from previous years as well as made new Facebook and email friendships. Once again, the conference director Kerstin Wartberg organized another wonderful conference that successfully brought diverse individuals and teaching ideas to one place. Once again, I experienced a joy that I only experience once a year with this conference, as I share about in this episode.

This book takes teachers and parents through all of the steps to teach a complete violin beginner all the way through the “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” variations and begin the next steps to learn “Lightly Row.” Included in the book are many forms and checklists to guide teachers and parents through the progression of steps to learn this important initial stage to play the violin.
