[MASTA] Michigan String Workshop Announced

[Timothy Staudacher]

Forwarding announcement from Michael Hopkins...

Dear fellow string educators,

Each summer the University of Michigan hosts a professional development
workshop for string teachers named the "Michigan String Workshop." This
year the workshop is  June 25-27. We hold the workshop on the U-M North
Campus in the Walgreen Center.

The workshop is a wealth of information. Bob Phillips, Val Palmieri, Maggie
Hasspacher, Katri Ervamaa and Danae Witter will be joining me on the
faculty. It is a great opportunity to continue brushing up on your
secondary instrument skills, learn about newly published music in a reading
orchestra, get some conducting feedback, and get LOTS of ideas for teaching
strings at all levels.

Classes are offered in a diverse array of topics, including:

Secondary instrument instruction on violin, viola, cello, double bass
Beginning and intermediate pedagogy classes for all strings
Orchestra rehearsal techniques for all levels
Teaching improvisation and composition in orchestra
Recruitment, retention, and program development
Instrument and bow selection, instrument repair
Conducting lab
String orchestra reading session
Fiddling jam session

I am attaching a tentative schedule for the workshop.

I hope you can join us in Ann Arbor this summer!

Sincerely,

Michael Hopkins
