Bow Hold Buddies - Violin/Viola
The Bow Hold Buddies Set for violin is a teaching aid that will help fix a violin bow hold in an instant!
If you are having trouble forming a correct violin/viola bow hold, then this is the perfect teaching aid for you. Once installed on your bow, the clever frog and fish shaped device will guide your hand into the right position.
The frog encourages a curved thumb and positions your hand on an angle, while the fish on the end is a pinky rest that helps enforce a rounded pinky finger. Together, the frog and fish train the hand to hold the bow correctly and naturally through muscle memory, thereby freeing the player to learn and enjoy other elements of string playing.
We recommend using the teaching aid two weeks on and two weeks off repetitively until you see improvement, so that the player does not become completely reliant on the aid.
Invented by master string teachers Ruth Brons and her mother Martha Brons, the Things 4 Strings® patented bow accessories are award-winning products that have helped countless violin, viola and cello students shape and stabilise bow holds – moving beginning players to a functional bow hold in an Instant!
Features:
+ Beginners, young and old, enjoy the rewards of playing sooner, and progress though lesson material faster, because less time is spent on bow hold corrections.
+ Continuing players have found these accessories very useful for remedial work.
+ Therapists have found many special applications for players with physical challenges in their bow hand.
+ Things4Strings bow hold accessories are great for Suzuki violin, viola and cello students, traditional private lesson students, school orchestra programs, and self -learners. Universal-Fit, for all beginning players, ages 3 to 103!
+ Engineered with solid pedagogy - and FUN. All will love the colours available for the bow buddies set: bright blue, sparkly pink, concert black and purple.
