Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Karen Tuttle (March 28, 1920 - December 16, 2010) was an American viola teacher, famous for her "coordination" technique, which emphasizes being comfortable while playing the instrument. She was originally a violinist who chose to become a violist when she wanted to study with William Primrose, whose technique and ease in playing the viola she greatly admired. Her coordination technique is often considered to be an analysis of Primrose's technique. She was a frequent participant at the Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont.
