[Menvi-discuss] Teaching violin--tips

[SClark6144 at aol.com]

I'm not blind, but my violin student used the Bow-Right the  first couple 
of years he played.  It is like heavy wire that is  on each side of the 
bowing area so the bow won't go too far either  way.  
Here is the link.  They come in different sizes for  different sized 
violins.

He has perfect pitch, which really helped him. For a  student who plays in 
orchestra, it's helpful to be in the first section because  you have the 
melody.
I told him, whatever you do, be sure you know your bowings  because if 
you're on upbow when everyone is on downbow, you will look wrong,  even if 
you're playing the right thing.
 
I don't have the books because I don't work in the school  anymore, and I 
don't remember what they were.  You might contact your  school system to see 
what they use for beginning violin in  orchestra.

Hi  all,
One of my student has a sister who wants to learn violin from me.  Any
blind violinist out there who teaches violin to sighted users?  Any
violin teacher with tips so I can handle my teaching smoothly?  Would
you advice things to consider? I only learn violin till grade 5  but
it's no harm to teach a beginner to pass on knowledge that I  have.
What violin books/method books that you use to teach beginners?  Help?
Input? ideas? Suggestions?
I look forward to hearing from you very  soon. I plan to start my class
next week.
Winy.
