European String Teachers Association (ESTA) Summer School 2011
14 - 19 August, UK

The ESTA Summer School, Sunday 14th to Friday 19th August 2011, is where string teachers and players go in the summer to refresh their batteries through a very particular mix of workshops, lectures, demonstrations and concerts. The 2011 programme retains its ever popular Basics (String Pedagogy) classes which take an in depth view of how we play and teach string instruments. Every year these classes take on their own special life as the presenter and participants change and the class evolves to suit everyone's interests and needs.

- Demands on the Contemporary String Player
- Assessing Improvisation
- What is Dalcroze Eurhythmics?
