Posture is so important to a happy and healthy playing experience. It's the difference between a positive practice that motivates greater progress, and bad practice due to discomfort and/or tension. Have enough bad days, and that choice to practice becomes increasingly difficult. I want more good practice days for each of you! Below are 3 key points to remember about posture so that you can have a happy playing experience!

Key Points:
1. Start with your overall posture adding a violin will not automatically make your posture any better. Roll the shoulders back, keep the neck and head extended high and supported over your shoulders (not lurching forward like a bird).
2. Let the violin fit YOU, and not the other way around! Determine the best combination of shoulder rest and chin rest to create the most comfortable fit for your body.
3. Keep a loose, relaxed Left Hand. Maintain a space between the base knuckle of your index finger and the fingerboard/neck. This will allow for greater dexterity and also make it easier to produce a beautiful vibrato!

Let's make good posture habits together!
