IVAN GALAMIAN AND HIS PEDAGOGICAL ACTIVITY
Schill, David ; PĚRUŠKA, Jan (advisor) ; ŠTRAUS, Ivan (referee)
Abstract
My main objective was to get the reader through the life and teaching methods of Mr. Ivan Galamian based on his book Principles of Violin Playing & Teaching. This book was never officially translated into Czech. Moreover, my work deals with an article published in New York Times, shortly after Galamian's death in April 1989.
I analyse in details the chapter concerning practicing and the chapter dealing with vibrato. I do not use exact citations but work with Galamian's ideas, use loose translation, and finally, I am adding my own insights and personal experiences.
I believe I succeeded to clarify the personal life and pedagogical activities to Czech reader. There are also involved specific situation of his teaching life and several special comments made by some of his students.
