If You Can Not Teach Yourself, No One Can

By: Simeon, Everistus

This book explores the vast potential of self-directed learning in violin pedagogy. Based in practice and drawing on concepts from neuropsychology, the author, a violinist and teacher, outlines principles. Self-direct learning is define dasanongoing process based on problem detection, definition, and resolution. The traditional roles of teacher and student are reimagined within this context. A step-by-step guide to applied self-directed learning sug-gests a model for both teachers and students that realizes student independence in the class-room, leading to higher-level understanding and more robust performance. While the value of self- directed learning is well-known in general pedagogy, this paper is novel in applying the approach to the study of musical performance, a field which is currently dominated by habit and folklore, rather than informed by science.
