Rosindust By Cornelia Watkins

Rosindust by Cornelia Watkins.... Drawing on 30 years of teaching and learning the cello, Cornelia Watkins has written a comprehensive guide to teaching that is both personal and universal. A compelling blend of story-telling, psychology, philosophy and technique, Rosindust takes a candid look at the day-to-day challenges of teaching -- but keeps in mind the experience of learning from the students' point of view.

Based on the premise that the study of a stringed instrument can have a powerful, positive effect on developing the whole person, Watkins offers practical ways to promote self-awareness, problem-solving skills and creative thinking.

"Corky writes eloquently in her essays about the topics that studio teachers are addressing daily. Her sincerity and honesty in presenting situations, problems and solutions are inspiring. This is an important addition to the libraries of teachers, students and parents." - Mimi Zweig, Jacobs School of Music and author of StringPedagogy.com
