Tips: What to practice - Right Hand Warm-Ups

The following videos are also in the Media Library

These are warm-ups for your bow. You may want to start with the bow hold exercises and then the ones with the bow on the string, playing open strings. You may pick a different exercise every time you practice.

All your attention should be on your bow hold, bow arm and later on your sound.

Just bow in you hand:

1. Bow circles - small
