    TRACING CURTIS TRADITIONS CURTIS’S RICH HERITAGE HAS DEEPER ROOTS THAN YOU MAY REALIZE BY MATTHEW BARKER Here’s a game for a lazy afternoon: Pick your favorite Curtis faculty member and count the connections back to 18th- and 19th-century masters. it’s fun, easy, and kind of amazing. Start with the violin. Current faculty members Aaron rosand, Joseph Silverstein, Michael tree, and Shmuel Ashkenasi all studied with efrem Zimbalist, Curtis’s director from 1941 to 1968. Go back just one generation and you’ll find that Zimbalist was a pupil of famed pedagogue Leopold Auer, the dedicatee of the tchaikovsky Leopold Auer Violin Concerto. Auer himself served on the Curtis faculty for two years, from 1928 to 1930. His pupils, at Curtis and elsewhere, also included Mischa elman, Jascha Heifetz, Nathan Milstein, toscha Seidel, and Oscar Shumsky. Also among current faculty members, ida Kavafian was a Shumsky student and Arnold Steinhardt Konstantin Mostras Oscar Shumsky (’36) Efrem Zimbalist Ivan Galamian Ida Kavafian Aaron Rosand (’48) Joseph Silverstein (’50) Michael Tree (Violin ’55) Shmuel Ashkenasi (’63) Arnold Steinhardt (’59) Yumi Ninomiya Scott (’67) Jaime Laredo (’59) Pamela Frank (’89) More Online Are you a part of this family tree?

In particular it identifies the ways in which cultural transnationality has diminished the distinctiveness of various historic schools of violin playing and pedagogy, and has led to practices and concepts within teaching that threaten a historically and artistically informed view of what it means to learn the instrument. It compares current practice with those that prevailed between the middle of the 18th century and the decades immediately after World War II, and identifies a lack of published treatises by contemporary pedagogues.

  • Application of Ivan Galamian Principles for Violin Learning Through Malaysian Folk Tunes
    International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences 2017, Vol. 7, No. 11 ISSN: 2222-6990 Application of Ivan Galamian Principles for Violin Learning through Malaysian Folk Tunes Mayya Musaeva Department of Music and Music Education, Faculty of Music and Performing Arts, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Malaysia. Clare Chan Suet Ching Department of Music and Music Education, Faculty of Music and Performing Arts, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Malaysia. Christine Augustine Department of Music and Music Education, Faculty of Music and Performing Arts, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Malaysia. DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i11/3493 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i11/3493 Abstract Early instruction in music is connected with the understanding of one's own culture. Kodaly associates it with a sense of belonging or a so-called ‘mother-tongue’ language. In the modern world, the influence of media threatens the sustainability of folk music heritage. To counter the influx of foreign culture into Malaysian violin beginners’ instruction there must be books based on profound teaching systems using traditional tunes made available. The music preferences and taste acquisition of a violin beginner are formed under the influence of folklore and composed music, which is foreign to the Malaysian violin students whereas popular traditional tunes are not reflected in the violin repertoire of those method books. The product of the research conducted at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris was aimed at meeting the demands of the Malaysian violin teachers in terms of techniques as well as to serve as an agent for the sustainability of Malaysian folk heritage.

  • Jacobus Gustavus De Wet's Contribution to Violin Pedagogy in South Africa
    Jacobus Gustavus de Wet’s contribution to violin pedagogy in South Africa by David Hermanus Schalk Bester Thesis presented in partial fulfilment (50%) of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music (Performing Arts) in the Faculty Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Mr Louis van der Watt Co-supervisor: Dr Hilde Roos March 2016 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification DHS Bester March 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract The South African violin pedagogue, Jack de Wet (born in 1927), is arguably the most well- known and influential figure in the South African string teaching community. He had a teaching career of more than 55 years during which he produced prodigies such as Jan Repko, Pieter Schoeman, and Avigail Bushakevitz. De Wet’s current and former students describe him as “a genius” and define his way of teaching the violin as highly imaginative and wholly different to those of any violin teacher. This study sets out to come to a better understanding of De Wet’s life and work in the context of violin pedagogy in the twentieth century by answering the following question: “As a prominent and influential figure in the South African string community, what are De Wet’s pedagogical methods, and how do these methods fit into the backdrop of violin pedagogy in the twentieth century?” The question has been answered in three steps.
