This is resource for any music educator teaching violin (or other stringed instrument) to a student. This excellent one page information sheet provides vital instructions to beginning players on violin basics such as care for and maintain the instrument and great tips and advise on renting or purchasing the instrument. This is a quick and valuable information sheet for educators to print and give to beginning students.

Care and maintenance of string instruments.

This is a website geared for string musicians or educators. This website provides string teachers with many professional development opportunities! Educators are able to share information about their various programs, and offer suggestions to one another. There are so many teaching resources on this website and one of the best parts is as a member, you are able to watch the recorded sessions from the National Conferences which are sometimes hard to attend. These sessions are extremely important for string teachers to see what teachers from around the country are doing in their own program. It offers great opportunities for networking as well as for anyone who is seeking work in another location.
