Bow Disease
November 2nd, 2007
Halloween has come and gone. The slimy eyeballs, fake blood, and cobwebs have been stored away until next year. Unfortunately, one frightening reality remains: children who touch their bow hair with their fingers. Oh, the horror. When you touch your bow hair, the oil from your hands prevents rosin from sticking to your bow, and your bow will turn black and yucky.
So if you want to make a beautiful sound on your string instrument, keep your fingers off the hair.
Happy Practicing!

Ms. Winze, its me elizabeth, ihave a question about the G Scale with the THeme and Variation tempo,i’m not sure ,ummm… do you play each note more than once!?
Sorry about this…
Liz Sobolik :O ;P
Well, you can do the G scale in many different ways. Start with one or two bows per note, and when you are comfortable with that add three bows per note. We are playing a piece in 3/4 time, so I would like you to get used to 3 quarters in a measure. Don’t worry too much about the shifting on the A string, just play A, B, C and D (C is a 2nd finger).
Happy holidays! I’m out of town for the next week.
