Drawing on her high level of technical proficiency, professional violinist Maureen Taranto-Pyatt shares practical guidance in her new methodology, "Progressive Form."

With The New Art of Violin Playing, violinists will learn to appreciate the physics (weight and momentum) and geometry (angles and rotations) of movement with an accurate understanding of anatomy and physiology in order to facilitate a nuanced flow of compression and release. Featuring nearly 400 images and music examples to illustrate elements of technique, balance, and gesture, this accessible guide will help musicians manifest deeper meaning and greater satisfaction in making music. Taranto-Pyatt divides the material into three parts-Left Arm, Right Arm, and Integration-that can be used as a step-by-step retooling of technique or as a reference for targeted issues.

A comprehensive exploration of method in service of musical expression, The New Art of Violin Playing offers the serious violinist a path toward a more integrated and liberated musical world through the combined use of balance concepts, guided movement, and creative images.

I consider this book to be a unique and valuable asset that every serious-minded violinist should have in their library."-Max Hobart, former Boston Symphony Orchestra, Associate Concertmaster

"Maureen has written a book which provides a phenomenal amount of information presented in a way that gives true insight into violin playing.
