Discovering Mimi Zweig's Repertoire and Beyond

As a music educator, it's natural to wonder what lies beyond the world of traditional string pedagogy. One such innovator is George Bornoff, a groundbreaking string pedagogue who has dedicated his career to advancing the art of string education through his non-profit organization, The Foundation for the Advancement of String Education (FASE). Join us on a journey to explore Mimi Zweig's repertoire and more as we delve into the world of string education.

Bornoff's work is centered around establishing successful habits in beginners, which is crucial for setting a strong foundation for future musicians. In his book, 'Habits of a Successful Young String Musician,' he shares valuable tips and tricks for educators to help their students develop good practice habits from the onset. Attendees are encouraged to bring their instruments to participate in exercises, songs, and orchestra arrangements found throughout the book.

For those interested in exploring Mimi Zweig's repertoire, this is an excellent opportunity to get hands-on experience with her innovative teaching methods. Participants will have the chance to work through highlights of 'Habits of a Successful Young String Musician' alongside two of its authors, Sarah Ball and Margaret Selby.

Beyond Bornoff's work, attendees can also learn about copyright and licensing rules in music education during a presentation by ArrangeMe, a Hal Leonard company. This session will provide valuable insights into self-publishing and digital music, enabling educators to share their arrangements and compositions with others.

The course also places a strong emphasis on the foundational stages of violin instruction, linking technique to etudes and repertoire. With leading pedagogues such as Mimi Zweig, Martin Beaver, Rebecca Henry, and Timothy Ying sharing their expertise, participants will gain innovative strategies, practice skills, and materials to enhance their teaching portfolios.

In addition to these educational sessions, attendees can look forward to music industry showcase sessions featuring The Royal Conservatory of Music. These sessions offer a unique opportunity for educators to network with other professionals in the field and stay up-to-date on the latest developments in string education.

Join us as we explore Mimi Zweig's repertoire and more, and discover the innovative approaches to string pedagogy that are shaping the future of music education. Whether you're an experienced educator or just starting out, this event is sure to provide valuable insights and practical tools to help you take your teaching to the next level.
