Strad readers submit their problems and queries about string playing, teaching or making to a panel of experts In the next of the series, a violin teacher describes an inability to bend the second (large) joint of the left-hand fourth finger – an issue she has encountered in several of his students. Do you have a burning question about string playing, teaching or making that you need answering by people who really know?
Email us at thestrad@thestrad.com The dilemma Over the years I have had several students who seem unable to bend the large knuckle of the fourth finger in the left hand. It is a fairly common trait in young students and I always try to have them work on curving the ‘pinky’.

The History of TI:ME In the summer of 1995 TI:ME was formed to address the following areas: First, there was a need to codify technology into a cohesive set of standards. Next, a certification process was explored to recognize the achievement of in-service music teachers in music technology. Finally, it became clear that there was a need for a new organization, national in scope and focused on the subject of teacher training in music technology. A National Advisory board was established and met in October of 1996 setting in motion the tasks that led to the creation of a world wide web site, the publication of a book of Strategies and a Newsletter The TI:MES, the criterion for membership, and the development of a comprehensive curriculum for in-service teacher training in music technology.
The Goals of TI:ME The Goals of the Institute include: The Funding of TI:ME. Lesson Design and Content. Professional Organizations. Research and Advocacy.
