Violin Book V of the "O'Connor Method" (being released in 2016)

Multi Grammy-winning Mark O’Connor has authored the fastest growing string method in a generation and based upon much research, testing and artistic skills.

Why music matters to us as a culture, as students, and why American music and its applications are finally well suited for string playing as opposed to Mozart and Vivaldi only. Research in the creative process, relationships to other arts and disciplines, logical sequencing for acquisition of tonal and rhythmic concepts of “An American School of String Paying” is designed to expand the knowledge, skill level, and musical language of the 21st century string player. By engaging in a comprehensive study of American musical literature, styles, and performance techniques, informed by the expressiveness, creativity, and cultural diversity characteristic of the Americas, students will become equipped for today’s changing musical environment. Conceptual understanding has come to be of significant importance when learning a musical instrument than previously thought, therefore “finding meaning” is central to teaching. We can do that by mental representations, which is central to music making. Generative activities and organization of materials has been what is lacking for string students until now. The fact that most of us start children on a string instrument as young as 4 and 5 years old makes it even more important to have better methodologies for training young people. I love to speak to audiences, especially non- musicians on how exciting this is. Most of us wish for our kids to learn music so this important to all of us and to the future of our culture. –Mark O’Connor
