What is it about?
This study aimed to investigate the process of constructing a “fast-protocol” for violin instruction. Since learning string instruments has not been common, and because there are limited hours for music in Japanese schools, the author, a violinist, collaborated with the general music teacher at a middle school in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and co-created the protocol.

Why is it important?
Findings include critical examinations of readiness in violin teaching and learning, and variations on violin-specific challenges associated with enjoyment and satisfaction for beginners.
Perspectives
We still need more case reports and practitioner researches in the realm of music education to learn from each other and learn from the cases. I was so happy that I was able to develop the practice model and made it as an article.
