Overview
An excellent bowing preparatory exercise to develop forearm rotation and sense the weight of the bow.
Watch
Practice
Practice this 10x per day if you are new to cello playing. Doing this as you’re watching a TV show or chatting on the phone is a good idea– you want to get as familiar with your bow as you possibly can.
Common Pitfalls
Letting your right wrist bend as you perform the movement. Instead, keep a straight line from your elbow to your hand. Do not let your wrist dip or bend!
