DMA in string pedagogy (versus performance)

[techfiddle]

I would like to inquire if anyone knows of programs which are doctoral
level, the DMA, but in pedagogy, rather than performance. I do
understand the usual distinction between the PhD (research degree)
versus the DMA (performance degree), but it appears that there is,
indeed, at some schools, a middle ground, subject to review by
committee that determine entrance.

Such degrees are plentiful when it comes to piano; I don't know how
many times I've noticed a DMA in piano pedagogy, or even the PhD in
piano pedagogy, but in strings, I had not been able to discover
anything like this until recently, when a violist mentioned his program
at University of Alberta. This person [see their page, "Viola
Pickles," which is a doctoral research project on the issues of
violinists switching to viola: http://www.violapickles.blogspot.com/
]

I looked at the music department page of that university, and they do
indeed have the DMA in string pedagogy.

Any others you know of? I don't really want to go there, where it's so
cold...

Thanks in advance! This is really a troubling question for me
personally, as I don't really have the physical ability to stand and
play major concerti by the hour, but I'm a good player who is deeply
interested in violin pedagogy.

Response on viola list was that I should check UI in Champagne-Urbana.
Of course, it was the same story: there is the PhD for public school
music educators, in the Music Education department, and a DMA for
performance. However, it lead to this fellow, who sounds like a
wonderful violin teacher:

Looks what he writes about teaching. This is remarkable:

Teaching Philosophy:
I firmly believe in building a solid technical foundation for my
students. That in turn will give them the freedom to concentrate on the
music and its interpretation as they mature. In order to accomplish
this I put great emphasis on scale work and études. In addition to
improving the intonation and the sound of the young violinist, this
work develops the much-needed discipline essential for any aspiring
young artist. I dedicate my teaching to helping the student to journey
towards the musical truth and the spiritual essence of the message it
contains. [INTERESTING PART HERE ] I am convinced that music makes us
better human beings and consequently we have the duty to serve it and
thus to make this world a better place. [CLOSE] As the student
advances in the study program I aim to teach different styles and
periods of music as reflected in the violin repertoire. I greatly
encourage personal growth and creativity, which is the stamp of each
individual. An important tool of my teaching is the weekly master class
where we discuss various aspects of violin playing, musical matters
and, above all, I give the students the opportunity to perform. My
ultimate goal is to prepare students to become successful contributors
in the musical world whether as a performer or a teacher.
