A workshop for teachers, professionals, and advanced students to explore Karen Tuttle's teaching principles, namely her physical and emotional approach to the instrument: coordination.

'Coordination'

Coordination is the word that Ms. Tuttle uses to refer to her physical approach to the instrument. There are many aspects to this, including stance, balancing the instrument, physical releases, musical impulses, and emotional responses to the music. These concepts will be introduced to all of the participants, and all of the teachers will work with each participant to help them learn this approach.
