Hi Joel, I am a new orchestra teacher who is worried about being the best for my students. I am a bass player and I really struggle with violin and viola because I am a low strings person. I am worried about my abilities in lessons. I plan on taking lessons myself. I have a great ear and know the technique and know what my violins need but I fear modeling for my 8th grade orchestra as they are far advanced. Do you have any advice? How much modeling is typically done in lessons? This is the part I am lacking the most from student teaching
