Here are a few bow exercises to work on this month. Choose one each day. They only take a few seconds to do.
20 Tic Tocs
20 Tip Circles
Stir a cake
Rocking chair on the bridge
Silent arpeggio on the Kreisler Highway
20 Thumb Bites
Finger sets: Lift pointer and pinkie off the bow alternately
4 Bow Circles on each string
Submarine Bow (under the violin)
Windsheild Wipers (use the fingers, not the hand)
Put a coin on your bow hand and flip it into your case behind you when you go up bow
Do "Up Like a Rocket" with a lifesaver on the tip of your bow
Elevator Bow (raise the bow up from the floor, keeping the tip and frog straight)

Happy Bowing! Keep Balanced!
