About this exposition

Violin improvisation has traditionally been associated with creativity and artistic expression. However, its application as a pedagogical strategy for addressing specific technical difficulties remains an underexplored area. This study aims to design and evaluate a series of improvisation exercises created by the author to assist two violin students in overcoming technical challenges. Through a practical and experimental approach, customized exercises have been developed to target individual needs, focusing on aspects such as hand coordination, intonation accuracy, and bowing fluidity. The study examines the impact of structured improvisation on the consolidation of technical skills, the reduction of physical tension, and the development of greater confidence in performance. Preliminary findings suggest that guided improvisation facilitates the resolution of technical obstacles and fosters a more natural and intuitive relationship with the instrument. This research contributes to violin pedagogy by proposing an innovative approach integrating technical development with musical spontaneity, offering new perspectives for instrumental teaching.
