“…Sound production on the violin is controlled via three main parameters: bow speed, bow force (downward pressure on the string), and the distance between the bow's position of contact with the string and the violin bridge (i.e. bow contact point, Perez-Carrillo, 2016;Schoonderwaldt, 2009b). Within this dynamic system of sound creation, violinists manipulate these parameters to achieve artistic expression, while simultaneously maintaining a delicate balance between parameters to maintain tone quality.…”

Violin bowing is a specialised sound-producing action, which may be affected by psychological performance techniques. In sport, attentional focus impacts motor performance, but limited evidence for this exists in music. We investigated effects of attentional focus on acoustical, physiological, and physical parameters of violin bowing in experienced and novice violinists. Attentional focus significantly affected spectral centroid, bow contact point consistency, shoulder muscle activity, and novices' violin sway. Performance was most improved when focusing on tactile sensations through the bow (somatic focus), compared to sound (external focus) or arm movement (internal focus). Implications for motor performance theory and pedagogy are discussed.
