Janice Tucker Rhoda, whose biography is included in Marquis Who's Who in America, Who's Who of American Women, and Who's Who in the World, has designed her path-breaking instruction series, The ABCs of Strings, to encourage students of all ages to play the Violin, Viola, Cello and Bass.
Ms. Rhoda is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, Massachusetts where her teacher was well-known violinist and pedagogue, Eric Rosenblith, protégé of Carl Flesch. She also studied with such luminaries as Nancy Cirillo, Rudolf Kolisch, Yuri Mazurkevich, George Neikrug, Daniel Pinkham, Gunther Schuller, Roman Totenberg and Benjamin Zander.
Ms. Rhoda, who has taught students to play the violin for over 25 years, was the director of the Suzuki Program at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, MA for several years and now teaches Violin for the Absolute Beginner classes at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education. She also gives teacher training classes worldwide.
You may learn more about her method of teaching on The ABCs of Violin for the Absolute Beginner DVD, published by Carl Fischer.

About The ABCs of Strings
The best string method books I’ve seen! Teachers will excel using this method and students will love the music. I highly recommend it.

The ABCs of Violin are a truly valuable resource for every teacher of students in the early stages of exploring the instrument.
Dorothy DeLay, Professor of Violin, The Juilliard School
The most complete and whole series that dovetails with the Associated Board of the Royal Conservatory of Music that I have come across yet.

My students are really enjoying learning to read music with these books.
