EVDIV 123 - Violin Group Class

Leslie Ashworth
In this class, students explore violin repertoire and performance practice in a studio-style group setting. Designed for students who are ready to move beyond elementary technique provided in Fundamentals of Violin, the course offers an opportunity to develop repertoire in a supportive environment while receiving individualized feedback and coaching. Active listening, discussion, and thoughtful engagement with one another’s playing are essential elements of the class, and students will build both musical skills and confidence through shared work in a small group setting.

Required Materials:

Full-size violin (4/4), full-size bow (4/4), violin rosin, shoulder rest.
