Abstract Designed as the core text for college level courses in string methods and string pedagogy, Teaching Strings offers a comprehensive introduction to teaching methodology and performance techniques for all string instruments. Stressing a "learn-by-doing" approach, a competency-based orientation, and a variety of teaching strategies ranging from Applebaum to Suzuki, Robert H. Klotman helps the student to acquire the necessary skills for teaching strings, from the basic concepts of string instruction through actual performance.
