About Diane Allen

 

Integrating Technique

     One big teaching technique is to break down complex issues into bite size pieces for students to digest. What about putting all the pieces together? I made this chart to help students keep track of piecing together the puzzle.

     In the technique column you fill in a particular techinique you are working on. Examples could be: feel the beat, round your bow pinky, play your D finger in tune. In the boxes listed Day 1, Day 2, etc., you can tally mark every time you remember to use that technique. This may seem slow and laborious - but keeping track of what you are doing helps keep you accountable and get you to the end result faster!

    Happy practicing and integrating!
