You will find videos of Mimi at work on YouTube, like this one, instructing a student on playing Viotti's Concerto no.23. (Also, a Twitter search on Zweig Violin will give you plenty of links to her work.)

Paul Rolland Workshop
George Mason University, July 29 through August 2, 2013
Full details on the workshop is at the following website: www.PotomacAcademy.org
Director Lynne Denig has assembled a team of Paul Rolland's students to share his string teaching methods. Paul Rolland's book "The Teaching of Action in String Playing" is the textbook for the workshop, and the DVD of his film series by the same name is used to give participants an in-depth understanding of his pedagogical principles. College credit through George Mason University is available for those who need it. The workshop embraces professional string teachers, college music students, and interested high school students. Current enrolment includes participants in all categories. Peter 'Doc' Rolland will be teaching evening classes in fiddling.
