Composed by Yoel Epstein. Contemporary,Instructional. 5 pages. Yoel Epstein #57119. Published by Yoel Epstein (A0.773262).When I studied violin, it was strictly a solitary experience. I played by myself, or with my teacher accompanying me; everything I learned – sonatas, concertos, concert pieces – were for solo violin. True, I played in an orchestra, and when I was in high school found my way into a beginning string quartet, but all of my experience with violin pedagogy was solitaire.
When I started teaching, I adopted a completely different approach. I believe that music is a social, not a solitary activity. So the first piece my students learn is a duet. And everything thereafter involves playing and learning in groups.
These two games are part of a larger work presenting my approach to teaching. It is a work in progress, and I hope to be adding organically to it as my experience grows.

I also have a lot of arrangements for string quartets of American and Israeli folksongs, which you can find on the site.
