The Karen Tuttle Legacy: A Resource and Guide for Viola Students, Teachers, and Performers

The Karen Tuttle Legacy A Resource and Guide for Viola Students, Teachers, and Performers Throughout her Stellar career as a teacher and performer, Karen Tuttle was a life-altering force and guiding light for generations of musicians. Her Uniquely impactful approach to teaching and making music was transmitted through a loving and uturing peronality that left everyone she encountered profoundly changed. Each musician who passed through her viola and chamber music studio over the years was invited to explore what she considered to be an essential "Truth" in music-making. She called that "Truth" Coordination. Of course, any attempt to write about music and pedagogy is to a certain extent inherently flawed, due to the absence of sound, live demonstration, and personal interaction. Karen Tuttle's Coordination is no exception. Nevertheless, we feel it is important, as we approach the centennial of her birth and the tenth anniversay of her passing, to introduce her legacy to a larger audience through this book.
