Modeling How to Practice: Help students make the connections at group rehearsals for effective individual practicing

History of string orchestra in public schools
Dr. Ashland murphy
"This is unpublished, but I attempted to summarize all of the history and major pedagogues of string orchestra in K-12. I think this helps us when we look at where we are pedagogically- we can see where the practices came from and how they're transforming (or not)." - Dr. Murphy
