2. Bowing Exercises:

• 5 long slow bows on the E string
• 5 fast bows on the E string
• 5 medium speed bows on the E string

        *keep the bow in the middle (not too close to the fingerboard and not too close to the bridge) and keep your bow perpendicular to the strings the whole time. 

3. Try to play the G, D, and A strings one at a time while keeping all the other strings silent. 

(Do you remember which string is which?)

4. Play "Pepperoni Pizza" OR "Hamburger Hotdog" OR "Ice Cream Soda Pop" on the E string.
