Abstract

The purpose of this project was to inform and enhance my work as a cello and string teacher in public and private schools, and as a performing cellist. The project encompasses three parts. For four terms I studied the cello with Dr. Pamela Highbaugh-Aloni. Following this I presented a cello recital and subsequently constructed a reflective, research based narrative inquiry of my cello study and recital. The resulting exploration of physical action and artistic emotion in music was achieved through the additional methodologies of: • literature review of the history of the cello and the pieces performed; • study and analysis of string pedagogy by viewing DVD’s by Paul Rolland and Mimi Zweig, and books by Elizabeth Green and Phyllis Young; • participation in the 2012 Montreal Institute Suzuki Book One training; • analysis of Royal Conservatory of Toronto & Victoria Conservatory Syllabi; • analysis of classroom method books. I concluded by asking questions that could lead to further studies in string education.
