Pinky Push-ups • Lift high, but keep curved • Bumpy thumb check - flip bow hold over and double check that you have a thumb bump • 2:02 - 2. Waves • Finger wave - lift each finger sequentially, one at at time, back forth • Wrist Waves - using only the wrist wave “goodbye,” keep flexible • Paint Brushes - move wrists in a side to side motion • 3:09 - 3. Stir the Caldron • hold bow vertically with a good bow hold, and stir the cauldron • 3:43 - 4. Windshield Wipers • With your bow pointing up, gently twist forearm back and forth, keeping bow hold shape! • 4:51 - 5. Write Your Name • Use bow like a pencil to write your name, or something else in the air • 5:19 - 6.Train Tracks • Move the bow parallel to the floor in a straight line across the body • 5:53 - 7. Rocket Ships • Move the bow centered and parallel to the body in a straight line toward the ceiling. Be sure to let wrist be flexible! • 6:36 - 8. Spider Crawl • Keeping a good bow hold, “crawl” to the top of the bow, then back to the bottom. This will really strengthen your fingers. No cheating! • 7:25 - 9.Circle bows • Make a large circle in the air and return the bow to the frog • Shoulder Bowing - similar, but pretend you are holding a violin of viola • 8:12 - 10.

Short Fingers/Tall Fingers • Holding the bow, let all fingers “fall” down and hang straight off of the hand, then lift fingers up, almost in a crane-like motion. This is the foundation of the colle' stroke. • HAVE FUN! • All music used in this vide is copyright free and royalty free.
