Three Workshops for Professional Violinists and ViolistsMimi Zweig, Director / Brenda Brenner, Coordinator 
1. Beginning the Violin Journey 2. A Retreat for School String Teachers 3. Establishing a Healthy Foundation through Etudes, Scales, and Repertoire Our summer program gives string players and teachers the opportunity to participate in an intensive String Academy Pedagogy Workshop. Each workshop will incorporate the philosophies of Shinichi Suzuki, Paul Rolland, and Mimi Zweig. Retreats will include lectures, demonstrations, and opportunities to observe master teachers in the Indiana University String Academy and world-renowned guest artists. Participants in The Retreat for Violin and Viola Teachers also have the opportunity to apply workshop principles through private lessons and master class performance opportunities. This year, we are continuing “Using the Retreat Principles in the Public School Setting” geared towards public school instruction. Teachers will be involved in the morning lectures focusing on the specifics of string playing. Afternoon sessions will be devoted to applying these principles to classroom situations and will include group teaching, ensemble playing and orchestra rehearsal techniques. Sessions will address teaching elementary through high school orchestra, and cello and bass playing.
