Dear Julie, I'm so glad that I came to SWB last week! I learned a whole bunch of new things and I feel a lot more comfortable with the various aspects of the eclectic styles of string playing. All of the artists/teachers present were fantastic-very warm and concerned for growth and achievement. I can't wait to utilize all of my new resources in September with my middle school students. I also hope to have the same week free next summer to return on the performance track!
Thanks again!
Sincerely, C_ C_

Background:

Julie Lyonn Lieberman started the eclectic styles teacher training six summers ago to help prepare string teachers for 21st music education.

It is widely understood at this junction in history that our string students must learn about the music that 95% of the world listens to, plays, and performs in addition to Western European classical music. Most string teachers did not have an opportunity to train in American vernacular and world styles. Strings Without Boundaries can give you that opportunity in a hands-on, safe, comfortable setting.

Graduate and continuing ed. credits are available for teachers who participate in these sessions. For more information, email Chris Bromley or download the credit application.

Dear Julie, [Since taking the teacher training course] "…I have been teaching my students “Pick a Bail of Cotton” by ear. We started with the tune. I created a bass line. [we added] chops and now we are doing a paradiddle. They are loving it and nothing is written down.
I have utilized the resource section in your books and downloaded videos and mp3’s for them to watch and listen to. You have reenergized my teaching and my students are enjoying it as well. Thank you so much! It is really fun." - Jody Gaedtke, Turrentine MS, Burligton NC
