It contains teaching strategies with proven success that match every step of the String Basics material, so that you can maximise the effectiveness of your teaching, without sacrificing any of the notable features of the String Basics programme that make it so valuable. These strategies are divided into the two categories of performance and musical understanding both essential to the teaching of students in an orchestra.
