Review steps for
bow pencil with the thumb going on the stick between the frog
and the winding:
1) Draw the following lines
on their fingers so they know where to set bow
2) Have them place hand with
palm side up
3) Students find second knuckle
of second finger with their thumb tip.
4) Set the bow across the hand
along the marks made earlier.
5) Touch the thumb tip to the
bow between the frog and wrap
6) Turn the hand over and you
have the bow hold.
For Violin & Violas - the pinky
goes on top of bow. Basses & Cellos - pinky hangs down
from bow, but make sure palm does not touch bow (make "mouse house"
like the left hand).

1) Hold stick of bow with left hand
so you can set up the right hand
2) Bow with tip toward ground and
frog pointed to right
3) Hold right hand with palm toward
floor
4) Place right thumb on stick with
palm above frog, but not touching frog
5) Turn the hand around so that
the bow is parallel to the floor. Make sure that the fingers are
curved like they are holding a ball. No fingers should go through
the opening in the frog.
