Incorrect Bow Holds and Their Causes
It is important to give students information so they can discriminate between correct and incorrect bow holds. For example, show the difference between a relaxed hand and a claw hand with white knuckles. Also show the difference between a bent thumb and a hyperextended thumb. Any analogy or game that can be attached to this step will be helpful.The "Claw"
In this image, the student is spreading out the fingers of the hand
too much. The pinkie should not sit on the screw. Also notice the
hyperextended thumb,
and the first finger extended up the stick. This will cause stiffness in
the wrist, and prohibit freedom of movement in the bow.
