Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to present a new, collaborative approach to teaching and learning the violin. I will first analyze the traditional one-to-one lesson and its relevance to collegiate violin beginners. Secondly, I will outline the concept known as collaborative learning and its benefits while explore the existing collaborative learning techniques used in some music classes. Thirdly, I will explore the benefits of collaborative learning for collegiate students learning the violin. Finally, I will discuss the application of collaborative learning in violin lessons and provide a detailed lesson plan for using this alternative approach.
