"Learn to play from the inside out"
This phrase in my opinion sums up the philosophy of Kato Havas: play must be an act of joy of the performer, a "free state itself" communicating the idea of \u200b\u200bmusic.

In "The new approach to the violin," the Havas proposes a series of exercises and reflections to eliminate all the tensions that inevitably come into play when you decide to take up a violin.

While not agreeing with his theories one hundred percent, I recommend to everyone the vision of its stage (which are grouped in playlist above) and the reading of his publications.
