Myron Kartman Gives Master Classes at the University of Alabama
At the invitation of the School of Music at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Dr. Myron Kartman taught Master Classes in violin and Chamber Music in March of 2015. Dr. Kartman was, in a way, re-visiting his roots, since he had served as Professor of Violin at UA from 1969 to 1977. Carrying on the exemplary academic program in violin at UA at this time is Assistant Professor Jenny Gregoire, a remarkable artist and teacher in her own right, who coincidentally was one of Dr. Kartman's students during his tenure at Northwestern University.
A wide range of violin students at all levels, from the university and from the community, had the rare opportunity to receive intensive, personalized coaching from one of our nation's most highly regarded violin and Chamber Music pedagogues. Pictured in the photo below is the Capstone String Quartet, four graduate students with outstanding undergraduate guest violist, Laura Steiner. The group, preparing for an upcoming recital featuring the music of Beethoven and Brahms, was coached by Dr. Kartman.

A note from Jenny Gregoire to Myron Kartman:
"You inspire me at so many levels! Your musicianship, your passion for music, your honesty, your love for life, your incredible memory, and your insistence until something is right, are like lessons in themselves for all of us. I hope that you can come back in the future to work with chamber music groups."
