- The idea of this area is for ESTA members - plus
string students at Conservatoire level who might
be considering teaching - to share and exchange
views on things in string teaching that they
really love or really hate.
- Don't bother telling us that concentrating on
exams can distort learning, or that music
services should be more respected. We know all
that stuff. The kind of thing we want is cool
tips on practising scales, why you reckon third
position should be banned, or practical solutions
to bossy parents.
- This is the place for short, sharp and pointed
opinions. (Say, about 50-150 words.) Your more
considered opinions and worked out theories might
want a letter or an article in News and
Views.
- Contributions will be monitored, and are liable
to be edited and used selectively to avoid actual
libel and to protect the guilty. They are also
liable to be responded to by other members.
That's the idea. Controversy is welcome.
- You can appear under a nom de plume if
you wish, but I also need to know who you really
are to make sure you really are an eligible
contributor.
- Here are some topic headings to get you started.
Surely something under one of them rattles your
cage
