Cello Bow Crash Course - 3. Tricks for a Straight Bow

Practice with Houston Symphony cellist Maki!

The CELLO BOW CRASH COURSE is a multi-video series where I break down and explain everything from basic to complex bow techniques so that you can produce the best possible sound with a relaxed body.

When someone asked Janos Starker what he will miss least about teaching, he responded, "telling students to play with a straight bow". In this video I'll show you a few tips and exercises that will help you achieve that ever elusive straight bow. But I have to warn you - the most useful piece of advice I could give is just to USE A MIRROR at all times!

The bow is a very complex topic, so I want to open the comment section up for discussion to cover any gaps in information. If you'd like to ask me anything, have feedback or criticism, or would like to share your own experiences with other cellists, please leave a comment! This series will be an ongoing process, so feel free to leave me requests for topics to cover.
