    Hi Nicholas,

    I’m afraid I haven’t come across anything on the research side of things, but I was reminded a few months ago about a book by Tossy Spivakovsky that I read in college, and ended up experimenting a bit with. I didn’t go to the extremes that he went to, and I don’t know what a biomechanist or Alexander/Body Mapping person would say, and it doesn’t work with all bow strokes, but I did find some of the concepts in the book helpful, at least for certain passages and pieces: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015018100274&view=1up&seq=1&skin=2021

    I also think Jennifer Johnson (body mapping) might have some interesting insights on something like this and would be worth reaching out to: http://jennifer-johnson.co

    Hope this helps!

There's an LIVE component too! (for educators)

If you’d like to explore some of the most essential skills and techniques in the course live, with a cohort of curious, thoughtful, supportive, and like-minded educators (and a few mildly irreverent or benevolently sarcastic folks mixed in to make sure we don’t get too serious), that’s also an option!

Starting Thursday, February 3rd, we’ll meet via Zoom once a week, and go through selected strategies related to effective practice, managing nerves, and achieving flow states under pressure. We’ll do some in-class playing experiments (don’t worry – you’ll be muted!), short weekly homework assignments, and small-group breakout sessions to help you integrate these new skills into your teaching.

This 6-week live course is normally $199, but is available at 50% off the regular cost when bundled with Beyond Practicing. For more details about the live course (and dates) CLICK HERE.
