IDEAS, TO INSPIRE YOUR VISION
For Music, you may wish to teach your students how the violin has the power to carry music into the farthest corners of the concert hall, conveying notes of fiery emotion and delicate nuance to all.
For Language Arts, you may wish to teach your students about the beauty, joy and hope that are expressed through a first person lyrical narrative spoken through the eyes of a child.
For Visual Arts, you may desire to have your students dip into the vast world of watercolor and plein-air painting.
For Dance and Theatre, you may wish for your students to bring to life the making of the violin amidst the natural world’s importance in the creation of music.
And for History, Geography and Science, you may wish to take a step back to the 16th century when violin making began, and study the Paneveggio Forest, an ancient forest also known as the ‘Forest of the Violins,’ and the violin making traditions of this region.
Whatever path you follow in your teachings, the gifts you will bring to your students through the arts will be meaningful and lasting, as these gifts will undoubtedly emanate from the heart.
As Albert Einstein so eloquently stated, “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.”
