HIGHLAND / ETLING NEW RELEASES
Dear Fellow String Teachers,The longer one teaches, the more one realises that choice of literature plays a huge role in the success of any concert. We’ve all heard groups attempt music that is too difficult for them, or perform music that is so repetitious, predictable, and mundane that it bores the players and the
audience (not to mention the conductor!). Choosing the correct music for a group is a skill we develop over time and I am proud to recommend the outstanding selections in this year’s Highland/Etling catalog as a great starting point in your search for quality literature.
Whether you’re looking for original music, transcriptions of classics, folk pieces, or alternative music, you can rest assured that all of the music included here WORKS and each piece has been carefully chosen to make your rehearsals and concerts a success for everyone in your orchestra program. So . . . happy hunting everyone! Enjoy listening to this rich collection of quality literature and experiencing the excitement of finding those selections that are just right for you and your students.
Finally, as this is my last release as Editor of the Highland/Etling string catalog, I want to take this opportunity to say how much I have enjoyed editing this catalog over the past 17 years, and how proud I am of the contributions we have made to all of the string programs we have served.
Musically,
Richard Meyer Highland / Etling String Editor

David Nelson (1983), violinist and string educator, wrote an article for
the Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education titled, String
Teaching and Performance: A Review of Research Findings, where he clearly
states, “Technical aspects of performance are of primary concern to many
string teachers. However, there remains considerable disagreement over
the acceptability of certain performance practices and resulting technical
considerations” such as vibrato, shifting, and bowing. He goes on to say later in
the article that string teaching is traditionally resistant to change, and that many
of our contemporary approaches can be traced back to the players and teachers of
the 18th and 19th Century. Finally, Nelson concludes his article by saying, “While
time has proven the necessity and effectiveness of many of these pedagogical
approaches little research has been attempted to develop and test alternatives.”
This article was published in 1983, exactly 30 years ago, and I am not sure a lot
has actually changed. Marianne Murray Perkins (1995) wrote a masterful text based on her
dissertation titled, A Comparison of Violin Playing Techniques: Kato Havas,
Paul Rolland and Shinichi Suzuki. Found on page 176, she puts together a two
dimensional chart that provides a clear framework of these three well known 20th
century pedagogues and their theoretical models of pedagogy for teaching the
violin. Along the top she shows the three theorists, Havas, Rolland, and Suzuki,
and on the side Perkins articulates a series of common skills that speaks directly
to string teaching and specifically to violin playing. The intent of this chart
is to provide comparisons of one pedagogue with another. This chart is fairly
comprehensive, looking at posture, right hand, and left hand specifics. However
I think what is clearly missing in this matrix is the current string research that
either reinforces the theoretical function of these pedagogic ideas and how they
relate to one another or better yet suggest possible and plausible alternatives for
teachers to consider. It would even be possible to use such a matrix to show areas
where little or no research has been attempted. A clear example of this is the new
and interesting discoveries about the way string players approach vibrato that
Geringer, Allen, and MacLeod (2010) introduced in their research. Teachers and
students should be made aware of these studies (see also Geringer, MacLeod,
& Allen, 2010). Their findings through careful and systematic research do
challenge the assumptions that we make as string teachers and equally important,
challenge our own prior research such as the early vibrato studies by Papich and
Rainbow (1974 & 1975). It is this kind of opportunity that we can take advantage
of to make clear connections between string research and string pedagogy. The
remainder of this article discusses two studies that I believe challenges how we
think about particular claims made by our pedagogy and to further suggest three
possibilities for our ASTA research community to help with both collaborative
string research, as well as aid in the dissemination of our findings.

Forum: String Pedagogy for the 21st Century: Catching up With Research2
AbstractAs string researchers teaching in the 21st Century, we need to better understand what it is we need to teach and how best to teach it. We also need to think about our current string research and determine how it can best be aligned with our current pedagogy, what reinforces the theoretical function of these pedagogic ideas and how they relate to one another. In addition, we also need to recommend the best teaching strategies through systematic analysis and research, which can provide sound and efficient pedagogic alternatives for string teachers.
Keywordsstring pedagogy, string research, bow technique, motion, research disseminationMy talk today concerns String Pedagogy for the 21st Century: Catching up
With Research. Our colleague Gail Barnes (2010) spoke to this group of string researchers in 2010 about the topic of who, or for whom do we do research and went on to say, “I am relatively certain that we do get our questions from string students and teachers, but I am not sure the results always get conveyed back to them.” Professor Barnes then goes on to address this particular issue in the rest of her article, which can be found in the String Research Journal Volume II (2011). My talk does not address who investigates or why we investigate ideas in string pedagogy, but considers in part the what that lies at the heart of our pedagogy. In addition, I explore some possible ideas as to how we might convey back to our students and teachers in the 21st century the results of what we as researchers and string pedagogues have learned.

WILFIN MUSIC
Grade
1117 Be Sharp But Stay NaturalBy Loreta Fin
The piano part is essential so that the students can hear the changing harmonies from major tonality to minor, and it adds a fun groove. The melodic line begins in unison, but then becomes more complex as the rhythm changes. (3:00)

1118 Make It CountBy Loreta Fin
This piece makes it easy to teach your young ensemble how to count rhythms and rests at the same time. It works in eight-bar phrases and then the rhythm changes. The boogie-woogie piano part greatly assists in feeling subdivisions. (3:15)

Grade
1119 Venetian GondolierBy Loreta Fin
This piece, in simple triple time, is designed to teach students to plan their bow speeds with alternating fast and slow bow speeds. It is also useful for reinforcing slurs, the first two finger patterns used in string playing, tremolo, and pizzicato. It uses an attractive melodic line, which is shared around the ensemble. (3:00)

Grade
3½120 LacrymosaBy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart / arr. Loreta Fin
“Lacrymosa” means “tearful.” Indeed, Mozart’s original string parts have been described as falling tears. In this arrangement, the choral parts are shared by the upper strings and the “tears” mostly fall from the celli. (3:15)
