Instrument Pedagogy

A broad study of pedagogical techniques and resources for instrument teaching and playing, including method books, technical studies, and a wide range of repertoire. The course material will be presented in two-week modules: historical treatises, method books, scales and technical studies, etudes and graded repertoire, as well as online pedagogy materials. Each module will include independent research, reading and discussion, practical application, and the preparation of technical exercises and repertoire. Studies focus on each student’s principal instrument.
