This book focuses on the influences of violin
pedagogy in Taiwan from Russian violin schools as
well as the Japanese violin method books with a
comprehensive point of view. Because of its colonial
background, the history of violin pedagogy in Taiwan
is rather short; yet, it developed significantly
within several decades after World War II.
Fu-Tong Wong, who is a violinist, a pedagogue and a
composer, has contributed a large number of writings
for both violin and group violin teaching. His unique
background from World War II and the influences of
the Cultural Revolution in China made him achieve his
goals based on his insistent love music. Because of
these, his work in Taiwan has established a
reputation as one of the most important violin
teachers in Taiwan.
This book also presents a brief history of Taiwanese
violin pedagogy. Additionally, this book will discuss
how and why he changed his way from a teacher of
virtuoso violin playing to one of group violin
teaching. Finally, the author will introduce Wong s
method analytically and systematically. It will from
here forth be referred to as The Wong Group Violin
Teaching Method.
