The Balanced Violinist: Guide for Parents, Teachers, and Students, establishes the foundation of violin technique in a biomechanically grounded way.

Features of the book include:

  • Detailed instructions and with high-quality photos, ensuring that each postural element is clear;
  • A unique method for setting the bowhold which customizes the bowhold to the unique shape of the student's hand;
  • Dynamic bowhold experiences to reinforce and stabilize the bowhold before applying it to the instrument;
  • Proprioceptive exercises to build body awareness for the movements of bowing and full-body posture; and
  • Kinesthetic playing experiences to help to develop nuanced control of the angle, weight application, and movement of the bow.

The Balanced Violinist is a valuable reference for the violin teacher or beginning student. Its comprehensive approach to posture and its focus on kinesthetic awareness distinguish it from other violin method books. It also serves as the technique companion and parent guide for Kaleidoscopes Book 1.
