NOVEMBER - is long bow month !!!

if the left hand is the words, the right hand is the breath....

and it's good to know how to whisper, and yell, and do all inbetween.

this month, think about using ALL of the bow - for maybe 2 minutes at the start of each practice.

TODO:  start at the frog, and do a downbow for a count of 8 (slow) getting all the way to the tip.  When that is easy, move to 10 or 12 for the count.  Upbow, ditto.
... and of course, the bow keeps moving continuously, and the sound is nice - and the bow is 1/2 way between end of fingerboard and bridge. 

namaste....
