The Russian Violin School: The Legacy of  Yuri Yankelevich
Picture
Masha Lankovsky has edited and translated the methodological writings of the great Russian violin pedagogue Yuri Yankelevich, published by Oxford University Press ​
 "At its core, this text sheds considerable light on the pedagogical theories and practices of a prolific educator in the twentieth century Russian Violin School. Violin instructors will find Yankelevich's generous and patient approach to instruction highly engaging and insightful. His advocacy of a student-oriented approach, derived from contemporaneous research in psychology, physiology, pedagogy, and educational theory, is supplemented and reinforced by the observations of Glezarova and Grigoryev. Performers will find Yankelevich's lengthy essay on shifting positions insightful and applicable to current practice. The entire book, including the supplemental material, will be valuable for scholars of the Russian Violin School or of Russian music education more broadly." --Notes
