In mijn scriptie ga ik in op technische vioolkwesties die bachelor- en masterstudenten (van 22 tot 28 jaar) nog in hun laatste jaren van hun studies kopzorgen kunnen baren. Eerst en vooral leg ik uit wanneer en waarom deze moeilijkheden optreden en hoe ze kunnen worden opgelost. Ik hou daarbij rekening met de instellingen waar de studenten gestudeerd hebben en hun respectieve landen van herkomst. Aangezien elk mens ander is, kan een begrip van hun culturele achtergrond niet ontbreken. Ook leg ik de nadruk op het belang van pedagogen.
Kwalitatief onderzoek van verschillende casussen wordt gecomplementeerd met de zogeheten Individuele Theorie waarbij persoonlijke ontwikkeling, cognitief gedrag, persoonlijkheid, leerstoornissen en interpersoonlijke relaties centraal staan.

This thesis aims to analyze the technical violin problems that students in Bachelor and Master programmes (ages 22-28) still encounter in the final years of their training. We will determine when and why these issues start, and how they are to be solved. Moreover, we will take into account the institutions were the pupils studied, and the culture of their countries. As every student is different, an understanding of their backgrounds is crucial to determine their issues, and the optimal solutions to them. Furthermore, we will see the importance of teachers in counselling students and helping them to achieve their goals.
Qualitative research based in case studies will be combined with one of the most commonly adopted theories; Individual Theories. This theory focuses primarily on the individual development, cognitive behaviour, personality, learning and disability, and interpersonal interactions of a particular subject.
