Why we use a baroque bow

When, in an upbow, the tip of the bow tends to droop, either the bow is too heavy or the fingers are not doing what they should.
A baroque bow can partially solve this problem.

Wrists facing each other

It is difficult to get children to make their wrist lead: if their fingers are stiff, saying «what time is it» is useful, but so is this exercise, that attempts to loosen the wrists by getting them to face each other and bow and say «hello, how are you?».

The windscreen wiper

With the arm stretched out in front and the bow starting horizontally: the pupil imitates a windscreen wiper.
This is not only a game, but is also good for the wrist. The elbow should not move.
