Guide To Teaching Strings

Summary: Guide to Teaching Strings, Sixth Edition
Review: This is a very informative book on everything one needs to know about teaching the string instruments, i.e., in this case, violin, viola, cello, and bass. Susan has added extra information to the older edition by her father, Norman Lamb, especially on the current technological development. The explanation of the technical terms is in just right amount that it doen't get too dry and detailed. I especially find that the chapter of "Selecting Instruments, Bows, and Cases" be most useful for inexperienced string teachers. The book is not designed to really teach one to play an instrument, but rather one to provide information on teaching the string instruments. One word of caution to buyers: the printing of pictures in some recent books has bad quality as if they were photo copied directed from a machine. I hope the pulisher would correct that.
