I found this awesome way to make my students bow correctly… Tape! It’s an age old trick that I never paid attention to because I didn’t think I needed it, but it works wonders! Put a piece of tape about 1/4 from the tip and 1/4 from the frog and forbid your student from shifting the bow until they pass the tape. I used this technique yesterday just to try to make my student use a full bow, and it worked! In the process, it also forced him to straighten out his bowing! Man, if I had known this before, I would have everyone put tape on their bows!

I put tape on my bows when I stick them on Christmas presents…
Comment by jenmarie February 9, 2009 @ 8:19 pmWhen I saw the title, I thought you meant bowing as in, bowing for royalty or something! LOL! And I thought, wow! I guess I may not have the best bow (I am not sure, never really bowed before), but how would tape help? LOL!!!
