Fourth way

Dangling arms. The child’s hand is in front of the bow, the thumb is hidden, and the hand slips over the bow with the thumb underneath. The secret of good teaching is finding different ways of setting exercises with the same technical difficulties.

Fifth way

Arms straight, fingers on the balcony and thumb under the frog, elbow relaxed.
The bow falls on the string in exactly the right position.
If the elbow is still too high, a third movement is used: PAN – DA – down (one-two-three).

Sixth way: Pan-da-e

Pan-da is an exercise for positioning the bow in four steps:

1. the bow is held at eye-level (the child looks at the teacher or parent between the hair and stick)
2. the arm is stretched while still looking at the teacher or parent
3. when saying the word Pan the bow is lowered onto the A or D string
4. when saying da the elbow is relaxed (no lower than the wrist)
5. this is an extra movement to adjust the elbow position if it is lower than the wrist
