| Description: |
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 10 years, the author was granted access to DeLay's classes at Juilliard and the Aspen School, allowing her to write this fascinating book.

This book is not only a good read, it is also an important contribution to the literature on giftedness. Would that there were more Dorothy DeLays teaching, strengthening, and empowering our gifted young people! |
