I am a violinist and have applied for a senior string teaching post. How could a violinist help you? Any advice appreciated.

Sorry, I don't understand your question. Do you mean how could a violinist help lower string teachers...

Yes please, Noodle. That is exactly what I mean.

Learn as much as you can about the techniques of playing other string instruments. Talk to cellists and double bassists about their instrument and get them to show you the basics of playing. Failing that, do what I did, learn to play the cello and the double bass as well
