Learn

Always get a good teacher and do as much searching as you can. Never force anything.

The Bow

Right Hand


The right hand can be more productive when it is loose. Let the hand hang more square on the bow. Leaning into the index finger or pronation can be useful but not so much that it becomes the tool to get power from the instrument.

Practice holding the bow with only three fingers:

  • Index, pinky, and thumb.
  • Middle, ring, and thumb.
Concentrate on the pinky. Keep it on the frog right in the middle of the dot on your frog.
See how it helps to balance the hand.
