The Doodlebow

Replace the pencil idea by teaching the bow hold with this SIMPLE PLASTIC TEACHING AID which is as light as a pencil, but has the authentic feel of the real bow frog.

Although it is possible to play a few simple tunes or even pass some early grades with a poor bow hold (e.g straight little finger and gripping thumb), it is much better to start pupils off with a really good bow hold (with both thumb and little finger rounded and relaxed)

"Don't GRIP, relax your bow hold, ... remember the magic words "Rounded and Relaxed"
