Paul Harris' most recent publication, The Virtuoso Teacher has been positively received by critics and customers alike and his recent workshop based on the book for the ISM at was greeted just as warmly.
The Virtuoso Teacher – a practical handbook for any instrumental teacher on the art of teaching, perfected over Paul’s full and successful career – was released back in March. Ever since, both critics and customers have been overwhelmingly positive about this seminal publication, giving it 5 stars on every occasion.
Christopher Walters from Classical Music Magazine makes it his Editor’s Choice and writes:
“...Harris's writing style is breezy and deceptively light, and the text romps along energetically. Clever use of anecdotes, subheadings and bullet points help Harris's insights leap off the page, and - crucially - at 96 pages, this is a book that embodies the power of brevity ... this book is undoubtedly a must-read for any enlightened instrumental or vocal teacher."
Amazon customers have been equally positive, hailing The Virtuoso Teacher as, "one of the best, most useful and thought-provoking books I have ever read" and "the most comprehensive, connected approach I have come across in 20 years".
Music Teacher Magazine say, "...The Virtuoso Teacher wears its considerable knowledge and inslight lightly, and is the antidote to other hefty tomes on music education."
Back on the 26th May Paul led a workshop on The Virtuoso Teacher for the ISM at Birmingham Conservatoire. This was an opportunity to explore a range of innovative music teaching techniques aimed to inspire students and create memorable learning experiences. Musical Den of Walsall were in attendance to sell Paul’s publications including The Virtuoso Teacher and once again there were positive comments both from attendees and from the organisers.
“The ISM, as the professional body for musicians and music teachers, is delighted with Paul Harris’ excellent delivery of The Virtuoso Teacher training day which took place on 26 May at Birmingham Conservatoire. The ISM hand-picks experts to provide the very best training and we are thrilled that the event was so well received. We hope to schedule more inspirational presentations from Paul Harris in the future”.
