spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/7980 The physiological learning process underlying the development of left-hand technique in violinsts Bennell, Maria J Bezuidenhout, Morné Music Includes bibliographical references (leaves 44-46). In violin pedagogy, the left hand has often been referred to as the artisan and the right hand the artist of the violinist. This general approach to the playing of the violin sheds light on the importance that must be placed on the development of a sound left-hand technique from an early stage. This research was inspired by the ideas of one of the leading string pedagogues of today, Prof. Jack de Wet, whose successful synthesis of the science and art of music making is reflected in his teachings. In this dissertation the relevance of physiological aspects, such as sensorimotor development, is discussed in light of their influence on the basic development of technical aspects of the left hand in violinists. This study endeavours to highlight the role and importance of physiological aspects in the development and transition of the violinist from a """"machine for playing the violin"""" to that of a """"machine for making music"""". 2014-10-02T13:19:38Z 2014-10-02T13:19:38Z 2004 Master Thesis Masters MMus http://hdl.handle.net/11427/7980 eng application/pdf College of Music Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
