BENEDETTI FOUNDATION
UNITE INSPIRE EDUCATE
Instrumental Teachers'
Professional Development Weekend
Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 December
9.30am-4.30pm (approx)
Advanced Vibrato (Higher Positions & Double Stops) for Upper Strings
Monday 5 and 12 October
7-8pm BST
A two-part series focusing on developing vibrato for advanced violinists & violists. A follow on to the July vibrato session, but equally as accessible to new participants, these sessions will allow you to extend your vibrato skills in the higher positions and with double stops and to explore the different colours and textures which can be achieved for different characters. This is recommended for advanced players
Whether you teach whole class, small groups, individuals, work for a charity, a music service or local authority, a junior conservatoire or teach privately, this weekend will ultimately aim to build a new sense of community where teachers from all backgrounds come together to inspire and motivate, to engage and share and to learn and develop with the best educators and teachers around. This weekend aspires to leave you with new found excitement and enthusiasm about teaching your instrument, and a chance to forge new relationships with those in similar positions.
Workshops at the Glasgow Sessions will include:
Back to Basics with Nicola Benedetti
Group Teaching
Game Based Learning
Nerves and Performance Anxiety
Leading Ensemble Rehearsals
Mindfulness and Wellbeing
Observation and Discussion - Working with Beginners
Developing Note Reading Skills
Teaching Improvisation
There are limited spaces and places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. It is possible to only attend one day - please indicate this on your registration form in the 'Questions' box. This is so we can ensure the maximum number of teachers are offered places across the weekend.
Teachers are also invited to share topics they would like to see included on the weekend on the registration form.
