String Pedagogy
“…praise him with stringed instruments…” – Psalm 150:4
Program Purpose
The String Pedagogy associates program prepares the student to teach violin using traditional pedagogical techniques, a solid repertoire sequence, and a knowledge of musical genres. Pedagogy students are encouraged to adopt a discipleship perspective and approach each lesson as an opportunity to point their students to Christ. Enrollment in this program is contingent on a successful audition. String Pedagogy majors must pass music major platform evaluations in their primary instrument.
