[摘要] English: The changing situation in the new South-Africa in which education is compulsory by legislation for all race groups between the ages 6 and 16 resulted in an unprecedented educational boom with a dramatic growth of pupils who must be accommodated. Under these circumstances the music tuition is much in demand. Music tuition has been traditionally conducted in the pupil-teacher ratio of 1: 1. New options must be found to accommodate the growing numbers and group teaching seems to be the logical answer. Group teaching however, must be regarded as complementary to individual teaching,rather than a substitute there-of. For the purpose of group teaching, pupils must be carefully selected in order to ensure that they conform to the minimum requirements for music tuition. The numerous technical points which must be taken into consideration when teaching a stringed instrument, necessitate the groups being restricted to six beginners or ten more advanced pupils. The group situation must never be applied rigidly. Flexibility must be retained, enabling the more gifted pupils to advance from one group to another.The concept plan for group teaching for beginner string players, the outcome of this research, is based on a holistic approach which provides for musical edification over a broad spectrum and which addresses the different components of music, namely technic, aural training, sight reading, theory, general musical knowledge and repertoire. During the lessons at least ten minutes must be devoted-to each section.The success of the presentation of a lesson is largely dependent on the availability and application of suitable teaching aids. The commitment of the teacher is another important factor. Within the framework of the group he must be able to treat each pupil as an individual.In chapter 9 a number of tutors, suitable for beginners are discussed. There are, however numerous other tutors available from which the teacher can make a selection. The resourceful teacher will always be on the lookout for new material, ensuring that the lessons do not degenerate into stereotyped repetition.Of special importance is the reading corner, with books covering different aspects of music, thus enabling the pupils to become acquainted with these aspects of music in an informal way.This integrated plan for group music teaching presented with the necessary consideration, know-how and enthusiasm can result in a most enjoyableexperience. The researcher is convinced that it can make a major contribution towards furthering music literacy in South Africa and concurrently cultivate a love for music amongst the vast numbers of children previously excluded from such activities.
