The Monthly Lecture Series is a new and exciting online opportunity for participants to gather clear and effective ideas on a variety of pedagogical topics for development and use in their own violin and viola studios. Each week will consist of a one hour lecture-style presentation, followed by a 30-minute question and answer session for further clarification. All lectures will be presented on Zoom. The Summer Lecture Series is offered through the North Texas School of Talent Education and is not eligible for SAA Registration.
