Ivan Galamian's Pedagogical Legacy
Snyder, Ian John ; ŠTRAUS, Ivan (advisor) ; ČEPICKÝ, Leoš (referee)
Ivan Galamian's formidable reputation as a violin teacher is internationally recognized. Many of the world's outstanding violinists studied with him at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia or The Juilliard School in New York City, and their fame perpetuates his. At the same time, very little is known about Galamian's early years, his exact methods on the violin, his nature as a teacher, and the general question of how he accomplished such outstanding results with his students. This lack of awareness is the case in the United States, where many of his students are aging or deceased. Members of the youngest generation of violinists tend to have only a vague awareness of his writings and perhaps familiarity with his scale method - even if they are close to Galamian in the "family tree" of violinists. This lack of awareness appears to be even more the case in Europe, whose music schools and orchestras are less likely to contain Galamian students (though they certainly do).
The goal, then, of this thesis is to shed much-needed light on the extraordinary life, thoughts, and teaching of Galamian. The reader should come away with an increased awareness of an important life in the history of the instrument, greater awareness of key technical points on the instrument, and an understanding of what made Galamian - and could make any aspiring teacher - great. There is also an attempt to provide balanced criticism of Galamian's method so that the reader may see what did not work in his teaching and so that our awareness of Galamian is not simply as a mythic figure but as a fully three-dimensional participant in the history of the violin.

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.

The aim of this work is to demonstrate a closer point of view about the issue of learning to play of a wood wind instrument bassoon, especially for the beginners meaning little children and also to their parents. The title of the thesis is "Bassoon studies for beginners". The content of this work is focused on first contact with the instrument and is divided into two parts.
The first part is theoretical and deals with the historical development of the bassoon, reed issues, and breathing techniques. Other chapters are focused on correct holding of the instrument and are explained the problems of embouchure. This part of thesis also includes an interview with one of the successful bassoon lector MgA. Lukáš Kořínek.
The second part is practical. Fifteen chapters describes the first tones beginning with C to c1 including b flat, f sharp and c sharp in simple songs and melodies.
In view of the fact, that there are insufficient materials about how to play the bassoon in the very beginning, this thesis was written to provide the basic information and advice for the beginners in bassoon playing and can also be used as complementary material.
