The importance of posture

When it comes to the way we stand when we play, some might say to each their own. This is in fact true to some extent: between Janine Jansen, Leonidas Kavakos and David Oistrakh, there’s pretty much no similarity in posture.

However, posture makes a significant difference in the result of the sound we produce. This has been proven not only for singers, but also for instrumentalists - even I once had the chance to experience this personally with the help of an overtone-detector and a touch sensory mat.

So, is there a certain way to stand to develop better projection? Thanks to many talks with my different professors, I will come back with more information on this issue soon.
