Host, Kristian Svennevig, a graduate of The University of Wisconsin, Madison, draws upon the wealth of knowledge gained from 30 + years of classroom teaching as an Orchestra teacher and more than 47 years as a violinist.  He also brings the education gained from study with many world renowned violinists and musicians.  In addition, his significant background in neuroscience and psychology and lifelong interest in science provides a unique perspective on teaching. This episode introduces the ideas and rationale behind this podcast series. It delves into some of our current limitations of teaching as well as introduces how we can use psychology, neuroscience and body awareness along with a multidisciplinary approach to move into the next level of teaching. Although this podcast is primarily geared toward music teachers, there is considerable overlap in classroom teaching of other subjects. Therefore, many teachers might find value in the information contained in this podcast.
