The Colour Strings Method for the Young Violinist

Abstract

Violinist Rebekah Ann Brown is director of the Columbus School of Music and the Violin School of Bloomington, Indiana. At Indiana University, she specializes in violin pedagogy. She conducts psychoacoustic research in measurements of expressive intonation by recording artists and performs comparative studies of holistic philosophies. She has studied Colour Strings in this country and in London and has a Suzuki certificate from Matsumoto, Japan. Brown has taught in private studios, public schools, and universities and has been a musical director of youth symphonies. Her expertise is sought in clinics and seminars and by artists-in-residence who are working with students and teachers. She uses both orchestral literature and American fiddle music with students for developing technique. She has also cataloged an extensive list of twentieth-century music for technical studies at all levels of proficiency.
