Assistant Professor of Music Elisabeth Small recently presented a session, “Shifting Strategies,” at the American String Teachers Association (ASTA) 2015 National Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. The presentation focused on organizing the shifting process for string teachers and students to develop a comfort zone for fluid and reliable shifting. Small also explored ways to achieve confidence in shifting by examining and coordinating listening skills, left-hand logistics, bow planning and timing.
ASTA, founded more than 65 years ago, is a membership association for the national string community with approximately 8,000 members.
