Resources developed by a music teacher, for music teachers
Explore our products
G'DAE Music provides a variety of teaching tools for violin and other music teachers, and for a range of student ages and abilities. What started as a mission to develop easy-to-use materials that would teach young beginning violinists to read music and unique bow-holding aids has branched out into music theory books for violinists of all ages; an Orchestral Excerpts project making familiar symphonic music accessible to intermediate violinists; a Scale Book and a Fiddle Folio to make technique practice fun!, and other teaching tools developed for use in the professional music teaching studio and classroom.
About G'DAE Music
G'DAE Music began in 2005 as the result of my quest to find kid-friendly teaching materials for young beginner violinists that emphasized music-reading from the beginning. Unable to find such materials available commercially or otherwise, I used my design and communications background to first develop materials to use in my own studio, and then to share them with others.
I'm an active independent music teacher, nationally certified by MTNA. I'm constantly looking for creative solutions to the challenges we all face in our teaching studios. My small self-publishing model enables changes to be made whenever I find new ways to improve my teaching methods and tools.
