ESTA, and now JESTA - No Kidding!

ESTA stands for the European String Teachers Association - you knew that.

However, today the Whittaker Library received a pile of magazines entitled JESTA, which came as part of our subscription to ESTA.

A Survival Guide for Young String Players

http://www.jesta.org.uk/

JESTA - the magazine and the website - is 'a survival guide for young string players'.  If you encounter a young string player looking as though they might need survival skills, please do direct them to the website - or tell Junior Conservatoire members that there are currently 7 copies of the Summer 2014 issue of the magazine, at the Whittaker Library Issue Desk.

 (Don't be fooled into thinking the website is the junior website without the "J" - that would take you somewhere very different!)

Whittaker is pleased to forward this invitiation to enthusiasts of the Rolland string teaching method :-

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.
