Three Directions of Basic Teaching from Violinist Chien-Wei Chang

Three Directions of Basic Teaching from Violinist Chien-Wei Chang

1. Emphasis on the Foundamental skill

Do not underestimate the basic violin learning textbooks and pieces. No matter what age a person starts to learn the violin, a person’s violin skill will often stymie without good foundation regardless of how many years of practice and hard work. A student must focus on the numerous basic details from the beginning. Teacher Chang had received rigorous basic trainings under his mentors throughout his violin learning process, and his discipline will be reflected in his teaching.

2. Intonation Training

The hardest thing about violin is that there is no physical keyboard to look at like the piano. Sound distinction and intonation are the key basic factors that can determine whether a student will be able to play great music, and these skills should not be overlooked.
