5.0 out of 5 stars Bow Right for Violin Review, August 12, 2007

This review is from: Bow-Right for 3/4 - 4/4 Violin

A few weeks ago, I purchased a product called the "Bow Right for Violin." As both a private and public string teacher, I have always been frustrated trying to get my students to play with a straight bow stroke that is parallel to the bridge. I have been pleasantly surprised by this product. It basically attaches to the sides of the violin (or smaller sized viola) and creates a lane that students have to bow within. For some of my students, we do a few warm-ups with it on and for other students, I have them use it for the entire lesson. Many of my students have commented that it really helps them feel what their arm should be doing on long bow strokes. I love this product and plan to use it in the fall for students in my orchestra class who are struggling.

For a child who just can't seem to get the hingeing motion on the arm and wrist correct for tone production on longer bowings, this is just the thing. If you read "How Muscles Learn" you will find that repetitive correct motion works the same way for your large and small muscles as rote memorization does for your brain. It becomes part of your unconscious toolkit, and you can move on to bigger and better things.

My daughter is 8 yrs. old and she is learning the violin. She is doing wonderful with the Bow Right as it helps her stay in the area without sliding in the wrong area of the violin. Thanks to the other people who put in a review, as I wouldn't have bought it for my daughter. Excellant tool! Katie Dion's mom
