Yesterday I lay down on the floor with a violin student and showed her the way I wanted her to do sit-ups this week (not really trying to sit up, but to suck her stomach down into the floor). I explained to her that the reason I want her to do 10-15 of these sit-ups a day is so her midsection will support her when she's standing instead of making her upper body do all the work. I'm hoping that a week of this will make her more aware of her abs so we can free up her upper body. I'm pretty sure this is what she needs, but now I'm plagued by doubt. Is this just too weird to do in a violin lesson, even though I think it will get the results I want? Argh.
