ABERDEEN STRING TEACHERS’ PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WEEKEND

REGISTRATION CLOSED

Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 March 9.30am-5pm​

Whether you teach whole class, small groups, individuals, work for a charity, a music service or local authority, a junior conservatoire or teach privately, this weekend will ultimately aim to build a new sense of community where teachers from all backgrounds come together to inspire and motivate, to engage and share and to learn and develop with the best educators and teachers around. This weekend aspires to leave you with new-found excitement and enthusiasm about teaching your instrument, and a chance to forge new relationships with those in similar positions.​

Workshops at the Sessions will include:

Fundamentals of String Playing with Nicola Benedetti 

Group Teaching

Game Based Learning 

Designing a Strings Curriculum

Leading Ensemble Rehearsals 

Wellbeing 

Observation and Discussion - Working with Beginners 

Developing Note Reading Skills

Developing Technique ​

There are limited spaces and places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. It is possible to only attend one day - please indicate this on your registration form in the 'Questions' box. This is so we can ensure the maximum number of teachers are offered places across the weekend. 

Teachers are also invited to share topics they would like to see included on the weekend on the registration form.
