See if you can figure out what is wrong with each player's posture:
Can you find something wrong with this the way this boy is set up?
(His bow hold fingers are too far apart and not soft and round enough.)
What is incorrect about the girl in the jean skirt's posture? (back row, second from your right...yes, that's right, you can't see her violin or bow arms/hands....so from what you can see, how could she improve?)
(Her feet are in rest position when they should be in playing position!)
Can you spot at least three things that could be improved in this bow hold?
(The pinky should be round, the thumb should be bent, the middle fingers should be round and wrapped around the bow more, there should be some space between the middle fingers and the pinky and first finger, the first finger should be round and more on the stick, and the bow hold should be soft and relaxed (so that the fingers aren't turning white from the pressure.)
How could this girl improve her set up? Can you spot at least three ways?
(She could improve by making her left thumb straight, putting her left fingers on their tips, turning her head differently so her jaw is resting on the chin rest, relaxing/dropping her left hand wrist...)
