[@crazy88mma]

Genuinely interested in this first student despite teaching for a long time. Very inspiring.

What does standing and swaying have to do with learning to play the violin?

[@tingdavidson]

The swaying helps to keep the knees/body from locking or feeling stiff. It also helps find the center of balance so students don't lean off center (ex. into the violin side if they're focused on their left hand.) Movement is also encouraged while playing if it is aligned well as it keeps the body relaxed and can help with expressiveness and communicating with other players!
