By MA Ines Ana Tomić – award-winning music educator, author of Violina 1–3, and creator of the Pizzicato Method

Teaching young beginners is a beautiful, delicate art — and also one of the most challenging parts of our job.

This masterclass was created to support violin teachers like you: dedicated, thoughtful educators who want more clarity, structure, and joy in the early stages of teaching.

Whether you're just starting out or refining your methods after years of experience, you'll find real, practical tools for designing your lessons, motivating students, and sustaining your own energy in the classroom.

What You’ll Learn in the Video (30 min)

In this structured, engaging lesson, you’ll explore:

✅ How to design your first lessons with intention — posture, tone, setup
✅ Techniques for creating a strong technical foundation from day one
✅ Motivation strategies that actually last — including games, routines, and rewards
✅ Emotional insight: how to support students through plateaus and resistance
✅ How to create a sustainable, joyful teaching practice for yourself

This isn’t a “tips and tricks” video — it’s a cohesive framework built from 25+ years of hands-on teaching, informed by both pedagogy and real classroom wisdom.

What’s Inside the Workbook (50 pages)

The printable PDF workbook is carefully designed to help you reflect, adapt, and apply the video content to your own teaching. Inside, you’ll find:

✅ Guided reflection pages after each video section
✅ Planning templates for lessons, routines, and feedback
✅ Prompts for emotional insight and self-assessment
✅ Action pages to help you try new strategies right away
✅ Bonus practice charts and printable tools for your students

You can use it right away or revisit it as your thinking evolves — it’s designed to grow with you.
