whose system of teaching the violin was both ingenious and logical. He applied that system to all of his students, and it worked, no matter how much or how little talent the student had -- a true sign of a great pedagogue. This book, PRINCIPLES OF VIOLIN PLAYING & TEACHING, gives us a wonderful insight into Mr. Galamian's very special method of teaching the violin, and I am sure that it will be of great benefit to its readers. I am delighted that this book is being reissued, not only for the benefit of countless violin students, but also because it is a fitting tribute to Mr. Galamian's lifelong work."
