Research-Based String Class Instruction

Abstract

A body of research findings has been developed in recent years that has important implications for pub-lic school string class instruction. These data may be grouped into the following topic areas: the develop-ment of basic kinesthetic skills, the development of accurate intonation, the teaching of music reading, and the development of basic musicianship. The stud-ies discussed in this article have focused primarily on group instruction and offer concrete suggestions that can be used in actual public school string classes. Developing Basic Kinesthetic Skill. Perhaps the most crucial skill that must be devel-oped in the early stages of string instruction is the es-tablishment of a correct instrument hold.
