Despite the many books that have been published about violin techniques, there is a need for a book which gives specific mechanical instruction in how to avoid the many physical ills which heretofore have been considered occupational hazards of violinists. The purpose of this book is to present daily routines to the teacher, student, and accomplished artist, to follow as a way of life, no less important than the study of music and interpretation for the purpose of a superb performance. My thesis is that the artist may realize his potentialities with security, only as long as he can prevent such conditions as undue tensions, frustrations, headaches, cramped muscles, neck boils, swollen fingers, stiffened joints, and resulting neuroses.
