Summary/Abstract: Thinking is an essential cognitive psychic process involved in the psycho- physiological perception of the violinist. For this reason, the art of playing the violin relies heavily on aspects related to tactile sensations, configurations and mental representations of muscle or motor memory. In this way, the performer can be aware of the position of the notes on the instrument, their duration or intensity, the timbre or quality of the sounds, etc. Anticipatory thinking does not only refer to the visual reception of the notes in the score, but also to the auditory representation of the configurations of pitch, duration or timbre that they represent, a phenomenon that will cause the violinist to make the appropriate execution and interpretation movements. In order to achieve optimal intonation on the violin, we must consider all the aspects, which naturally depend on each other, such as: the development of the musical sense, the education and training of the auditory sense, the coordination and synchronization of the auditory activity with the movements instrumental, the formation and correction of motor skills according to previously stimulated auditory perceptions.
