Using Your Body To Maximise Expression
Unlock the full power of your viola by learning how posture, movement, and body alignment shape your sound. This video reveals how to use the natural weight of your arms, core support, and breathing to create resonance, projection, and expressive phrasing. By connecting technique with body awareness, you’ll reduce tension, prevent injury, and discover new levels of freedom in your playing. Whether you’re preparing for a performance or simply aiming to play with more confidence, these body-based viola techniques will help you produce a richer, more powerful tone.
