The violinist and string teacher Sheila Nelson, who has died aged 84, pioneered bold insights into how children can be guided toward discovering the joys of music-making without coercion, and taking pleasure in sharing them. These teaching methods came to be widely adopted, and introduced many children to playing music who might not otherwise have discovered it.
She modelled them on group rather than individual teaching for the youngest pupils, and always encouraged children to learn from each other. That message was embodied in the title of Right from the Start, a collection of 20 elementary string pieces and one of her bestselling books, published in 1993. Sheila profoundly believed that young players could feel the power of making music together from the very beginning.
