Hal Leonard
The late Dorothy DeLay taught violin at Juilliard for more than 50 years, and a list of her pupils - from Itzhak Perlman and Kennedy to Midori and Sarah Chang - reads like a who's who of the violin world. For more than 10 years, the author was granted access to DeLay's classes at Juilliard and the Aspen School, allowing her to craft this fascinating book that is both an exploration of the mysteries of teaching and learning and a feast of anecdotes about an extraordinary woman. HARDCOVER.

Book News
Sand, a music journalist, examines the teaching methods and personality of the first woman to have been accorded a place among history's great violin pedagogues. Her observations of DeLay in the classroom with students, as well as her interactions with parents, agents, and others, reveal that her prominent features are a lack of method and an overarching concern for the children. Violinists and musical fans will enjoy not only this look into the mystique of DeLay, but also the personal insights and recollections of famous musicians (Izhak Perlman, Isacc Stern, and others). Contains many b&w photographs. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
