Technique is internal (except Percussion) The goal of the beginning string class is... Players must play with correct mechanics and visual setup. Technique is external.

Bowing Principles
• Bow direction is the foundation for musical and rhythmical accent. • Down bow on strong beats • Up bow on weak beats
• The note written on the first beat of the measure is usually down bow.
• The last note of a measure is usually up bow.
• An anacrusis slurred over the bar line is usually played down bow
• The even/odd rule states that an odd number of bow changes before a bar line are started up bow and an even number of bow changes start down.
• Chords are usually played down bow.
