"Our goal in this book is threefold: to provide teaching strategies that foster individual skill development on the bowed string instruments, to offer rehearsal strategies that help instructors advance their large-group ensemble techniques, and to offer advice on building comprehensive school orchestra programs. In order that the fifth edition of Strategies for Teaching Strings be as current and as useful as possible for prospective, novice, and experienced string instructors alike, we have expanded and updated pedagogy and resource guides, created and revised materials in all chapters, developed new video content, and have written a chapter on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Orchestra Programs"--
