VIOLIN AND VIOLA PLAYING-POSITION QUESTION # 2
IS MY INSTRUMENT IN FAIR TERRITORY?
Just as in sports, in playing-positions there are regions that are considered “fair” territory and others that are “out of bounds.” Proper playing-position physical regions can be determined in a similar way.
Eventually, while performing extremely advanced playing techniques, there are minor variations and adjustments to instrument positioning.
In the diagram, the area outlined in green represents
PLAYING-POSITION
FAIR TERRITORY
If necessary, make minor adjustments to the angle of your playing-position set-up steps. Remember that the instrument rests on you and must be positioned properly so that you can play comfortably.
ALWAYS PLAY IN FAIR PLAYING-POSITION TERRITORY!
