Abstract

The research focuses on the development of a performance teaching manual for violin concerto instruction, addressing gaps in current teaching resources for advanced violin education. This study conducted a literature review and demand survey at the Sichuan Conservatory of Music to assess the state of violin concerto teaching. The manual integrates theoretical knowledge with performance practice, offering structured guidance on technical skills, repertoire analysis, and the historical evolution of violin concertos. It covers concertos from different musical periods, including the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Contemporary eras, incorporating insights from Chinese violin music like “Butterfly Lovers.” The manual’s systematic approach combines music theory with performance practice, aiming to enhance both technical proficiency and musical interpretation. Its structure ensures comprehensive coverage of performance techniques, practice methods, and teaching strategies, with detailed analyses of representative concertos from each period. This resource contributes to the improvement of teaching quality by providing a valuable tool for violin educators and students. It also promotes the preservation of musical heritage through the study and interpretation of violin concertos from different eras, offering a holistic learning experience that fosters both technical skill and artistic expression.
